Why let the label define who you are? Depressed or Bipolar there both illness that in most cases can be treated and managed. I may have Bipolar, but I am a person first, with a family, friends, a job and things to live for. Being Bipolar just means I may be a little different then some, make different choices then others to ensure life flows smoothly. One thing I remind myself of is everyone has bad days and even weeks regardless on their mental condition, mine can and have been worse then the average Joe but there help available to me.
Even without the label you'd likely be feeling this way. A label is just label with a possible list of your symptoms. I ask you again though, why let it define who you are.
