Thank you! Every bipolar forum or support group I've ever attended, someone will bring this up. Geez, I say I am Canadian, I am short, , I'm middle-aged, I am fat, and yes, I am bipolar. These things aren't all that I am, but they're true. Bipolar is not my entire identity, but it is certainly a piece of it.
