What you should really be asking is how we, who suffer this illness, are often devastated by the results. Sorry if I'm a bit angry over your post, but it's these sorts of myths you advance that cause us even further harm.

actually some of us have regrets. About things we done, or haven't.
Being hypoglicemic is not like cheating on somebody or whatnot.
I don't regret feeling manic or depressive.... but I regret being snappy, isolating, screwing up the things I care for... so on.
As for OP... imho, it's not about the person being bipolar solely... it's about her being the way she is. You cannot pull the "bipolar made me do it" card. When people do it, they create stigma for those of us who aren't running around wrecking havoc.
