No offense taken, I just don't think of it that way. I'm not sure if I'm getting your other point right, but I think bipolar is part of who God intended me to be. It's intimately wired into me. It's not a tumor to be removed (my thought). I'm glad I have it. The struggle to be well gives me the opportunity to grow into something greater than I could have been without it.
