However, I do not consider being bipolar a disorder. Depending on the person, it may be a natural condition. It often sucks, yes, but polar bears and grizzlies may say the same thing about hibernation.

I admit that I've come late to this thread and apologize for not reading further than post # 12244.

I admit that I'm "bi-polar I" with a written diagnosis, and more to come - that is, going in for testing on memory loss.  Oh, and let's not forget (memory problems, get it?) the OCD hoarding which has led to a weird life when you consider that 10,000 pieces (yes, ten thousand) pieces of collectible glass stored in my house means I don't have a sofa.  It's a hobby, I swear it's a hobby..... it's not an addiciton as all my friends and relatives claim.... IT'S A HOBBY, I tell you, a hobby....

I admit that I have rapid-cycling bi-polar.  Rapid cycling to the point I'm exhausted even thinking about how rapidly I cycle.  "Rapid" as in multiple times an hour, when most diagnoses consider multiple times a week to be rapid.

I admit that Rule speaks his OPINION of what bi-polar is.

I admit that the last sentence was very hard to write since I had to find the right words that didn't just call him un-helpful names.

I admit that Rule is (IMHO) showing his ignorance.

I admit that I have trouble listening to people who are ignorant and proud of it.

I admit that I'm well aware that bi-polar can destroy relationships.

I admit that bi-polar destroyed my BDSM-Love-of-my-Life relationship.

I admit that I've been lax in starting the Bi-Polar help string. 

I admit that this string has drifted WAY off the original "confession" mode.

I admit that I think being a D-type with bi-polar may be harder than being an s-type with bi-polar.  (But let's put that topic over in the bi-polar "help" string.)

We now continue with our regularly scheduled "I admit..." string.
