It sounds quite silly, doesn't it?  But for some reason with Bipolar Disorder, it is quite popular to say "I am Bipolar". Same goes for "I am OCD". Perhaps because some people feel like the illness defines them as a person, which is rather unfortunate. We are so much more than our diagnoses. |
Woo-hoo!
But you may say...
“I’m diabetic.”
“I’m depressed.”
Though one would not say, “I’m cancerous.” That sounds more like a warning of an infectious disease.
I favor making the passive voice active once again.
