This is great.

Thanks so much for sharing cashart.

I found this one the most intriguing:

"Bipolar Myth No. 8: Aside from taking medication and engaging in psychotherapy or "talk therapy," a person with bipolar disorder has few options for controlling the condition."

That is very interesting that some would think this.

Thanks again.

Don't you sometimes wish you had this printed on a card so you could hand it out to people you are friends with? LOL

I "Hide" things pretty well. I have had arguments with friends over my diagnosis.
