Maybe I'm off topic, maybe not. The other day I was thinking about the words "Bipolar Disorder." I began to think about the word "Disorder" and what that means to me, and maybe to others. I mean other illnesses that aren't mental illnesses that I can think of are not disorders, example Crohn's Disease, etc. If you look in the thesaurus you see words like mess or dysfunctional. And yes those words are not necessarily relative to the way it is meant as far as a medical term, but for me and maybe others "Disorder" is a negative word. It had me thinking, is this why there is such a stigma? Is this why some of us have quit life, like AlwaysChanging2 talked about? Maybe I should shut up, I'm not trying to offend anyone, but it was something I was thinking about.
