I'm in good company, some of my favourite composers, writers etc. with bipolar:
Hans Christian Andersen
Mark Twain
Charles Dickens
Robert Louis Stevenson
Piotr Tchaikovsky
Gustav Mahler
Modest Mussorgsky
Sergey Rachmaninoff
Edgar Allan Poe
Vincent van Gogh
Edwin Landseer

But I'm still me. Just because some bipolars were geniuses, doesn't mean I am (I am, but that's beside the point :)). And also - they may be extraordinarily gifted, but were they happy?

I find it a contradiction in terms to compare myself to the great (and also the not-so-great), as my ultimate purpose is to find myself, and live according to me.
