When I was college before I was diagnosed type 1 I was super manic and delusional. My classmates thought I was angry and one thought I was schizophrenic. I was barley sleeping and I was losing my mind. I feel so embarassed that people saw me in that mindset and I’m having trouble accepting this aspect of my life and thus my bipolar diagnosis. 

Has this happened to anyone else? What helped? I think seeing a celebrity with bipolar talk and advocate about it would help. I tried finding that with Russell brand but couldn’t find much. Any links or tips would be helpful!
