Greetings to you, BipolarSpaceMonkey, I too was called that, and in my considered opinion mental illness is nothing but a label applied by doctors
when they fail to understand a person, or what the person is trying to say. I went to a psychiatrist for many years, and ended up helping him, as in
getting over a gambling habit and a bad divorce. I took the drugs, because I genuinely thought something was wrong with me. Finally I asked the good
doctor why he was hell bent on giving me mind altering drugs. He replied very simply, "Your mind works way up here", he said, holing his hand above
his head, and "my mind works way down here," he said, holding the hand below his waist. "I have to give you the drugs so that I can understand
you." That said it all to me. I threw away the drugs and let things happen, and since that time I have had many experiences that I would not have had
while under the influence of the drugs. I am not telling you to go off your meds. I am just telling you my own experience. A doctor is not a Bi-Polar,
so he/she cannot in any way whatsoever understand the mind of a Bi-Polar. Only another Bi-Polar can. And friend, Bi-Polars built the world, normal
people did not. Research the Founders, if you doubt me here.
I was told I was bi-polar as well but I think I
actually grew out of it. As for space, it's my favorite place off this planet
