I am proud that I know as much as I do about bipolar. I am the one who ultimately knows myself best. That doesnt mean I know everything or that I do not miss patterns but I educated myself enough to feel comfortable speaking about it. In fact I think knowing as much as I do about my bipolar and how it affects me and my experiences is actually helpful with therapy because we can discuss it in the context of whatever is going on. Its just like cancer or some other disease. If you had a certain form of cancer you would research the hell out of it so you could play an active role in your own recovery. The same is true for mental illnesses, IMO.
