I think I've been misunderstood. When I wrote about being responsible for my bipolar I didn't mean I don't have to do anything about it. I mean it is not entirely due to my poor coping skills or improper perspective that I experience mood swings. My family history suggests it's - - at least in part - - genetic for me.

And I never said I'm morally superior to someone who didn't inherit his or her mental illness. I do not judge anyone with a mental illness, whether they inherited it or not. I am very accepting of ALL people, no matter what mental illness or trait or life circumstances have befallen them.

I didn't come on this site to argue, so I'll stop with that. Thank God it's a free country and we're all entitled to our opinions. Hopefully free from character judgment.
