[quote=Anonymous]I am bipolar. I was diagnosed in college. I was hospitalized for a bit, put on meds, etc. I was able to finish college but it was very hard. Medication to control bipolar can itself be life-changing in a negative way. I was no longer having extreme highs and lows, but I was also needing to sleep 14 hours a day, dealing with my mind not working "properly," gaining weight like crazy, and other side effects. I went to law school. Got married. Sustained a career. Had children. Managed marriage, work, children. I'm still bipolar. I'm still significantly more likely to kill myself than someone without bipolar. I still have to deal with medication side effects. I have a life. I'm not on disability. I'm not in jail.[/quote]
