You dont have to tell anyone you are bi polar.Its nobdys business but yours and if people are passing judgments well do you really need to b around people like that.
In my case the meds and therapy have been the saving of me I am still a creative vibrant person who just happens to be bi polarI have been stable now for 8 year,It feels great after a lifetime of bi polar behavior.Some people assume I am ditz becasue I like to have fun while I work but whn they talk to me they realize I am pretty smart and rethink their first opinion of me and thats ok What is important is how I think of me. I think highly of me so therefore others think highly of me too an value me as a person.
I had a hard time getting a good psychiatist and therapist but I really wanted conquer bi polar so I didnt give uop till I got the ones I have today.Its the same with meds not all meds work the sameway for everyone Thats why there are different meds. What works for me may not work for you and so forth but the thing is dont give up until you get what works for you.
there are many brilliant successful people that are bi polar google it and see who pops up.
You may or maynot be bi polar I am not a doctor so its not for me to say but some of the tone of your post says there is something going on there Good luck to you
