How do you feel about your bipolar ?

I don't feel anything about it, that's like asking how I feel about my arms.

Do you feel like a victim of it ?
Nope, see "arms" reference above

Do you compare it to other physical illness?
Nope, I don't consider myself ill, that type of thinking destablized me A LOT.

Do you accept it ?
Hells yeah! I accept my arms don't I?

Do you fight it ?
Yes and No. Yes in the way that I try my best to not allow it to consume me or to indulge in damaging behaviour. No in the way that I mostly try and roll with the punches and surf the waves. I work toward co-existing alongside it in harmony, instead of an uphill battle between 2 opposing sides.

You get the idea... how do you think of your bipolar?

I think my brain is wired differently and its up to me to adapt to my reality instead of wishing for a different one
