I wish I could say that I am able to use bipolar in some way that would bring me success. The fact that it is called "bipolar disorder" to me means that it is a disorder that is chronic, life long and requires medication to manage. It is not something I can control and use to my benefit. I know its popular or pleasant to look at bipolar as something that could actually influence creativity or some other positive attribute but personally I cant see it that way. I know its also popular to pull out all the past famous renowned people that had bipolar but often they are urban myth, or its the 21st century trying to attribute mental illness and other disorders to someone who was a genius and contributed greatly to society and advancement.
When people reference someone and say they had adhd or bipolar and they are famous its just conjecture that they had these disorders. There is no definitive proof-at least not really.
