Someone once asked if there was a cure for bipolar if you would take it. Yes, I would take the cure. I don't enjoy being bipolar. I like feeling stable.
I am very good, however, at finding the silver lining in everything, so I can see the good things that come out of my mental illness. I feel like I can connect on a deeper level with friends and family because of it (see my poem quote below).
