I can totally relate about bipolar doesn't equal awesome... in fact it annoys the living crap out of me when it seems like people boast about being bipolar... I don't know to me it's like I saying I got aids man I'm so awesome/cool... just a rant of mine... having bipolar has basically made my life a living hell.. in fact I felt the best ever unmedicated. . Unfortunately I was ruining life for everyone else... got kids and a wife now... so now it's not all about me.. which is hard to swallow cause in all honesty I'd rather be selfish.. but anyway.... I can relate
