Are your your disease? Are you your Bipolar? My therapist has suggested that I have become my disease. That it has consumed me since my diagnosis 2 plus years ago. I'm not sure how to take this. Does anyone else feel this way or have been told this? I do think about it a lot. As you can see from my signature I have a few diagnosis but I feel like anxiety and bipolar are the main two that rule my life. How does one become their disease though? Or maybe a better question is how does someone stop?
