There is a stigma out there and they're were surprised because I've been very successful in my working life as well as my recent school life since I've leaned toward the manic side more.

When I was diagnosed a few months ago, my close friends were shocked. They knew I had OCD, anxiety, severe depression, and alcoholism. I just didn't fit the profile that most news outlets, uneducated people have of being BP. Hell, I was surprised myself, but it all started to make sense. Hypo-mania definitely helped me with my career! The manic episodes have every 3-4 times a year were brutal and self destructive. However, only my two close friends, husband and son saw those episodes and consequences.
