Wow, what a question. First of all, what does "normal" mean, anyway? Who decides?

For me, "normal" is being able to function in the real world unmedicated, so I will never be normal. The next best thing is to have a balance of medications so that I get up, shower, brush my teeth, dress, and do productive things during the course of the day - for more than one day at a time. THAT would be "normal" for me, and I'm not there yet.

And something you said caused me to pause... your ADHD being caused by your BP1.... really? Really? Those are two separate conditions and neither causes the other, although sometimes aspects of BP1 mimic ADHD. Just sayin....
