People are all like "oh your depression isn't REAL BIPOLAR depression if it's triggered by something" like in order to qualify for a bipolar diagnosis you have to only be manic or depressed if you have no reason.

Well I AM bipolar and I can't afford to eat and I'm sorry but that makes me feel BAD. Maybe even DEPRESSED. But oh gee, that's an external trigger. Guess I'm not a real hardcore bipolar guy then.

I mean, I'm not going to wind up in the hospital (though that would solve the food problem) but I am going to ask my pdoc to up my Abilify on Monday to help me get through this.
