Quote From: mensanIt is a mental illness, but it has a physical basis and is managed by meds. I just didn't want to be freaked by the thought that you had a "mental illness." So many people are frightened by persons with bipolar disorder, I didn't want you to be freaked by the very illness you have!
I appreciate your helpfulness and thank you for being so up front with me. I read the post from vilatoe that read "In the end I know I have this disease...I look at it just like that...I have this disease...it doesn't have me." Maybe that's how I should start looking at it because I am definitely not looking at it the right way.
I just feel really confused right now....
