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.
Yes, "I have" for the above reasons.
