For the last 3 years I've been trying an experiment where I don't hide my bipolar at all. Often it is one of the first few things I talk about. I had read that the harder one fights to hide crazy, the crazier one looks. So I've embraced my bipolarity and not always with good effect. Sometimes though, I am surprised by a very positive reaction.

I try to say I have bipolar, but it slips out all different ways. It doesn't really matter to me and it should.
