Joined Facebook group“Bipolar Badge of Honour”, a group to set up to look at the lighter and more positive side of this condition. My initial comment: “Love that people can see the fun in bipolar. Support groups are depressing! Bipolar isn't easy, but what a f****** ride :)”.
Also, a recent study has shown that 46% of “sufferers” wouldn’t have the disorder taken away if they could. How many were asked whilst hyper, I don’t know, but the positive side-effects of bipolar are many. Heightened intelligence, alertness, bravery, passion, standing out from the crowd, commitment, lack of modern financial constraints and DDA benefits. To mention a few. It has been said that if we all got together, with our resources and intelligence, we’d rule the world. But that’s the best thing. We don’t want to!
Whether bipolar or my side effects came first is completely irrelevant, they came together!!! Why all this talk about negative side effects? I must admit I’m somewhat hyper now, so COMPLETELY biased. But next time I’m down, I’ll look at this and smile.
