I'm a poster child. It takes so much energy to be ashamed and try to hide this MASSIVE thing that runs my life. I just can't do it anymore. So pretty much everyone in my life knows. I talk about it a lot because it limits me a lot. I use the word bipolar too. The people in my life all care about me, so me using bipolar and being someone they love will definitely help reduce stigma. And I need their help. I really need the support system of my wonderful family and friends when I'm struggling. Hiding something this big and trying to limp around on my own would destroy me.

So yeah, I'm really open.

I can't work. I'd be more picky if I did.
