i'd say that the 2 things i can come up with are 1, being more understanding of others ( because i've been through the stigma, i've been through the harsh comments) so can understand others easier

the other is my poetry and creative writing. before being diagnosed, i couldn't do it.. i mean i wanted to think of stuff to write about, but it could never come to me- now though....

i guess thirdly their's so many famous people with bipolar, and it really makes you feel less alone and hopeful that you can accomplish things

how long did it take you to get your diagnoses
