I admire people like you who are dealing with it so well. Thanks for sharing this–I think much of the stigma of bipolar is going away, actually.

I think its too bad that there is such a stigma out there about being depressed, being manic, being psychotic, or having fluctuating behavior. When it really comes down to it, its how well you are functioning that matters. There are plenty of people who live with it everyday, and they are coping---that is what is important.
