I've been thinking about this question since it got posted. I wanna say hell no it don't bother me,.....but I wouldn't want people to know. I volunteered for years but I don't tell people I'm bipolar. I've seen people change if they have knowledge of the diganois, they back off thinking of how the media, films and books portrayed a bipolar. Where I had had a unque viewpoint and take on a situation suddenly become oh she's got a "crazy outlook" whereas I was taken seriously I suddenly become superfluous. So while I don't think of my diganois day to day or think of myself as mi day to day I'm aware I don't share this openly. Yeah it bothers me.
