I hate the ups and the downs. I hate the stigma. I hate how people throw the word around to describe someone who is moody. I hate feeling ashamed of my diagnosis. I hate having to be "in the closet" so I don't ruin my career. I hate how much energy it takes to appear normal. I hate needing to take meds and being terrified of the side effects. I hate everything being so hard.
