But a lot of people struggle for a lot of years, in opposition of what books says about bipolarity.
And it sucks because for a lot of year they make me feel like ****, like i didnt try enough, but then i found this forums and found out that maybe im not that bad after all.

Sounds like some very ignorant, naive people who are trying to act "smart" over something they have little apparent real-world understanding of. I think we are all fighters dealing with this MI, struggling through our lives, trying to make one despite this albatross around our necks. We still learn to float, at least with me, much of the time.
There are cognitive aspects to this MI currently being researched. I call this my having "cognitive deficits" that comes with my illness. Sometimes I have trouble communicating with simple words. Now words that I did not remember even knowing quickly come to mind. I do also have focus issues. Much of it is also cyclic, but not necessarily in time with my mood cycles. Then there can be serious memory issues of past events,
