Do any bi polar people rob banks? Do any bi polar steal police cars? THESE SYSTOMS MEAN THE PERSON NEEDS HELP.WHY SHOOT HIM? anD BI POLAR PEOPLE ARE LOOKED UPON AS FREAKS...YOU SHOULD HEAR SOME OF THE PEOPLE TALK IN THE COFFEE HOUSES HERE.WHY? mAY i ASK SOMETHING IF OPRAH WINIFRY ADMITTED THAT SHE WAS BI POLAR DO YOU THINK THAT PUBLIC WILL ACCEPT US?

" Screw 'em...It's a terrible thing when a friend ends their life. My best friend took his and his wife's life...so I know the loss. And, I'm sure, many of us are here in spite of our best efforts to not be. I don't know how to change the stigma. We can spout many names of famous people with our condition, but the ignorant will always be here. I suppose that, in the end, we, as a group need to embrace this insipid monkey on our backs, and become stronger for it...my opinion. "

" To all who replied..I thank you.I am finding out even in seattle that some people view people who are bi polar as being possessed by the devil.Shades of Son of Sam..Why do people fear us? I have been so busy now with the house and trying to make it nice.Remember...we must take out medication and do not drink and drive.Brad loved movement.I dont.I am perfectly content being home for the 4th of July weekend.These big celebrations are getting too big and with the budget cuts here in seattle and all over the country...people can still get hurt and Brad was hurt at the festival and thatwas the beginning.So all of you have a wonderful 4th and be careful...vader and the cats...it is going to be 80 today and i am sweating in this house..I have got no air condtionered..
