Took me a long time. I feel like a calm person. Bipolar I cannot possibly be manic? Just happy. I used to be super depressed, but I'm seeing it now. My mania makes me the risk taker I am.

Give it time you'll eventually come to accept it. I used to argue with the psychiatrists it took 3 for me to get it through my head. And years lots of years but I accept it now just learning to live with it.
