Great question! To be honest, I beat myself up a long time for being bipolar, and just drank myself into oblivion while I was heavily medicated. Just bad, to bad, to worse. Then, as I got older, tried a different medication, (and also a different doctor), I realized the gift of creativity and imagination that being bipolar gives me. Could I be just as inventive without bipolar? Probably not, well at least I think so.

Question: Do you get along with others who have a mental illness? Or do they make you uncomfortable?
