Don't really know cause I've had something as far back as I can remember.
ADHD, then panic disorder, then depression, then mixed episodes, then bipolar dx. Regret never "fitting in" anywhere, being shy & not having friends. Also have a bipolar son, so my bipolar didn't do him any favors. So, maybe I would trade it in... |

I'd rather be a tame sane sheep than a crazy mood swinging free thinker.

I have no idea what "normal" is. I believe I've been bipolar since childhood. So, I don't know if I'd trade my life for "normal", whatever that is.

I would trade it in in a heartbeat. Thats all I want is to be normal. No more meds, no more drs, no more ups and downs, no more bad decisions that cost me alot. I hate having bipolar

I would trade bipolar for normal in a heart beat. I think my daughter would have a better Mother and my husband would have a better wife and my parents would have a better child if only I wasn't sick.
Maybe I'd feel different if I was balanced on my meds, but I'm not so.... |

I honestly don't know if I would trade. The highs are amazing but the lows are horrible.

Heh, which is quicker than a NH minute for sure!
 (Grew up central NY, which would be somewhere in between...)I keep thinking about this question... the unbearably severe depressions part... yes, I definitely would trade that... |

Not at all, we get to experiance emotions that noone who is "normal" will ever experiance. My bipolar is severe so i really experiance most symptoms. I think it's kinda fun! I just have to learn how to manage it (so i can go in public)

Thanks for all your answers. Interesting almost looks like a half and half ratio. Today I feel I would trade. Tomorrow who knows. I can't decide on this.

My diagnosis is still fresh, but I spent my entire life knowing that there was something different about me. My earliest memories (of which there are VERY few before about age 9) include frequently wondering "What is WRONG with me?!".
So I don't yet really know who I am without this condition. I am hoping that a lot of life changes, meds, therapy, etc will help me find out who I am underneath all the trappings of depression and mania. So would i trade this to be "normal"? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. It's all I ever wanted, even before I knew exactly what it was that made me different. |
