I will admit wholeheartedly that I wear my Bipolar Disorder like a merit badge. After battling this illness the way I have had, and ALL THE MISERY I went through to get to this peaceful place finally, I can honestly say, yeah, I wear it, in fact I OWN IT!!
It's not snooty at all, you are completely entitled to your opinion.
