It makes me who I am. Life isn't meant to be lived "boring, dull and predictable."

I can always get a doctor to prescribe me the best drugs! Benzos, sleep pills and... If I ever tire of being stable or with reality, antidepressants that make me go wee in a psychotic manner. I know that stuffs pure!
Only got one life! |

Truth is, I don't think there is a damn good thing about bipolar. Honestly, we can all think positive but, that's like a little boy holding his breath 'til he gets his way. Body will make us breath whether we want to or not.

Honestly I dont know what its like without it. Its always been part of me. I know I am more understanding and passionate because of it. I wouldnt change the woman I am today, not even if they could take it away forever. Its under control and allows me to be a very compassionate loving and understanding person. I guess that may sound silly to some but being bipolar is part od who I am. I feel thinks on a deeper level than most and learn from it and grow. Im happy with who I am.

I don't think I have ever known what normal was. Even as a teenager I was a mess (even though I do miss those most eventful times). What chokes the life out of me now is being unstable. No I don't want a normal life, but I do want a life.

While I can appreciate, and very much applaud, those of you who see the good things in being BP, I really would give a lot to not have it. Even though I am stable now, I still have my ups and downs. I would love to have a month or even just a week of an uneventful nature. However, I absolutely agree that it is part of who I am and I generally do like who I am. But the strange thoughts and mood swings are just very tough, and no one really understands how hard that is except those of us who live it. In many ways, BP defines who I am, and it's a real balancing act for me. But I certainly have accepted it and do my best. That's all I can ask for.

I would not have chosen to have BP, but since I have it, I will make the best and remember its benefits (when treated.)
