Yes yes yes. And nobody gets that it is a miracle but us.
It is awesome that your boyfriend said that to you. Really. That is very respectful and validating. I wish I had that.
And I'm gonna keep speaking it! If I can. I am so tired of all the stigma ****. I am so tired of a system that thinks they understand Bipolar more than we do. And I hate the idea of people out there struggling and suffering and feeling alone and isolated and being so confused about this Bipolar thing.
I feel like it is unnecessary for the newly diagnosed to have to reinvent the wheel every freaking time when there are those of us out here who have put in a lot of work and blood sweat and tears dealing with this **** and figuring it out and can help. I want to help.
