Thank you for writing that! That is the perspective I loose when I start ruminating in my mind about wether I am BP, or have BP, and what is really me in all of this craziness!
I believe in what I believe in, I still have my sense of humor, I have a lifestyle that I chose, not because of BP, but because of what I believe to be right, I like and dislike people regardless of BP or not. I enjoy some things more than other things regardless of my illness. My hobbies would have been the same regardless, my passions etc.
But sometimes (oh, ok, a lot of the time...) BP gets in the way of what I want.
