When l'm low l feel like l am bipolar....though normally l say l live with it.....just!!

I don't think it matters what we say as long as we're happy with it. As long as you're happy with what you say then that's all that matters.

I think a person should be known as themselves "first" and then state what disease they suffer from. I am Lisa and I am BiPolar.

i live it and i have it, but it is not who i am.

Sometimes I say I have it, sometimes I say I am it. It doesn't bother me how people talk about their illness.

i say i dont have bp heehee,

Hmmm... I think I sometimes say I am (insert illness) because it has become such a big part of my identity. I'm "the sick one" in my family.

I think i should stop saying it like that so I will feel better about myself. I AM a guitarist. I AM a mother. I Am a wife. I am NOT my illness.

That feels better.

I say I have bipolar.

I'm not sure what my life would be without bipolar..since I've been shaped by (hypomanic)personality ...so I say I am bipolar.

But what ever floats your boat..say it any way that feels best to each person.

I am bipolar. I am a drug addict. I am an alcoholic. I own it. It is part of who I am and I have to function in such a way that I can control it all. I have bipolar disorder, I have alcoholism, I have drug addiction, I am a food addict, I have food addiction, I am a sex addict, I have sex addiction. No more denial and I don't care how I say it.
