Mental Health Update

The bipolar point of view on the world.

The reasons for not telling people are both simple and complex. The simple answer is that I feel like it’s none of anyone’s damn business. But the complex answer is tied up in that stigma I mentioned. People to this day think of mental illness like BiPolar (or manic depression if you will) as some sort of mental defect, or even worse something that is all in my head, like I have the capacity to control it with my will. When people think like that it is as if people who have BiPolar are not able to function normally. It’s as if people think I’m not capable of acting rationally. I really don’t need to have people feeling that way about me. It’s a hard enough struggle without that added bonus.
