I have known I have been sick with Bipolar since I was in High School. It's no longer such a taboo to have bipolar or any mental illness now some people still are judgemental but it is what it is. I try to manage my illness. I feel when I mess up with my disorder that I am a bad person. I am doing my best to be a good person and act "normal". I feel talking about my illness will push people away but bottling up makes my illness worse. I feel stressed. I wish it was easier.
