So you are equating thinking-that-bipolar-disorder-exists with being in a cult?

I guess you could call believing in what science tells us, being in a cult, but that's a very strange use of the word 'cult'. If rational observation of notable patterns of thought and behavior across the span of human history is like being in a cult, then that's a cult I am happy to be a part of.

Bipolar disorder (assuming it exists), is a cyclical disorder. Yes, it can be managed, but the cycling never stops forever (until you die). Like someone above explained, you can be fine for 8 years and then start cycling again. Just watch out for that. Honestly from your writing you seem a little hypomanic. You mentioned that you feel extremely good, and better than you've ever felt. That's not exactly normal. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I'm just trying to be the voice of reason/science here.

Also, I've embraced that I'm crazy and my symptoms have not disappeared either. I don't think that's how it works. Just an observation.
