Hello everyone,

I just wanted to tell you guys (which I am sure you probably guessed anyway just based on how you feel), that having bipolar disorder decreases our overall lifespan by 9-20 years.

Here's the article I got this information from if you want to see for yourself:

Many mental illnesses reduce life expectancy more than heavy smoking | University of Oxford

It actually talks about how mental illness reduces life expectancy MORE than heavy smoking does.

All I gotta say about this is, thanks bipolar disorder, that's just *&^%^&ing great! You know, its bad enough having to deal with all this nonsense, and even though welcoming "the end" might be what some people are hoping for, I personally WANT TO LIVE!!!

Sigh, bipolar life.
