Hi All,
I'm new to this forum but not to BP. I was diagnosed more than 20 years ago and after a couple of years working on finding the right cocktail I am surprised and happy to report I've lived a quiet, normal life for most of those twenty years (and counting). What gets me is that when people find out I'm bipolar (people who haven't known me very long) they pull away and I know they're thinking "OMG, she's CRAZY!" And if I didn't take my meds then maybe I would be but I have no desire to go off the rails so I never miss a dose. What's funny is that so much of the time I look around at this world and think "And they think I'm crazy!" People are weird! I feel like the most normal person I know but I have this disease so I'm crazy. It's so frustrating. Does anyone get this? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
