I am sooo sick of people talking about bipolar as though its a disability. I understand how its hard. I have it too, but tell me what does it restrict you from doing. Everyone is bipolar to some level, I actually got a doctor to tell me that one. If we weren't all bipolar, we'd feel the same thing all the time.

But as I said, tell me how it restricted you from doing something. I know one or two of you might have it bad enough you cant function in society but whats the story for the other 10 of you

My cerebral palsy makes it were I cant participate in most physical activities (and I only have mild, using a leg brace.) And I can never join the military ( I wanted to join the navy at one time.)

Whats your explaination?

It sounds to me, that most of you just want to be included in something you can't really feel for.

All due respect
Daniel

People have different intensities of it. When it is severe, it really impairs your ability to function normally.

Yes, very true. I have a mild case of bipolar and am easily scared off by people who are very severely bipolar because they can be dangerous and out of control

And your point is that since those 100 random people don't have it severely, the rest of the world also doesn't?

It can be severe enough to impair function, such as psychotic episodes (i.e. delusions or hallciunations or both). That's towards the more severe end, which I presume is what the other posters are talking about.

No my point is..
I know all these people whom say the have bipolar on this forum (theres at least 20)
Cant have it that bad. They just want to think they know what we (the disabled ) go through but they dont!

Again... i'll stress to people.... "you are what you believe you are"

You can only be bipolar if you believe that you are.

Its like.... you can only feel angry by telling yourself that your angry...

You can only be sad by telling yourself that you are...

and you can only feel fantastic if you tell yourself that you are. (this is my favourite one)

Side effects from medication so inhibited my mental functioning that now I have no chance of getting into graduate school. I'd say that is a pretty big problem.
