Geez...I can't imagine choosing to be bipolar if it is indeed a fad. I would much rather be sane right now that have a great sex life, be thin, etc... I can't imagine dropping my meds from weight gain or for sexual reasons. It's the mood stabilizers which are keeping me from killing myself in a crazy mixed episode right now. Again, I do not wish this upon anyone. I think there is a BIG difference between depression and manic depression. I think most people can't imagine feeling so f-d up that they would even consider suicide. But I think those of us who have experienced mixed states know better. It's not a pleasant place to be.
