From my personal experience with this disorder, changing my perspective has done me a world of good. Obviously it hasn't cured me of bipolar, but its been as positive a change as some people experience on meds.

I'm glad you decided not to pathalogize every mood, it sucks the living out of life, and invalidates every emotion.

That's no way to live.

I hope the change in your perspective brings you the positive changes it has brought me. Please feel free to PM or email me if you ever feel like discussing the topic one on one.
