What do you mean? lol Am I in fashion.. Cool I am a hot chick now! hhehehe never did really do the styles.. jogging clothes for me!

OH SHIT! funny you say that..... I always feel like I am either ahead of the fashion trend, or just completely different from everyone else. either way, life sucks

lmao!

Yea I've kinda noticed the same thing. But to be honest I don't know how anyone in their right mind would want to be BP. This might sounds bad but If I could turn back time I probably would have never mentioned anything regarding depression when I first saw my doc for the first time. I would have just sucked it up and pretended I was lost or soemthing. I'd do anything to shake off this label that I have to live with every day.

Not only does it affect me socially, it affects me financially. I have been turned down from jobs because of this illness. If having a decent job, a nice place and a family meant "sucking it up" and putting on a good face for everyone despite my true emotions than that's what I would have done a long time ago.

I too believe it's the new craze. everywhere you turn there are bpers everywhere, i think it's because they (not real bpers) want attention, find it strangely sexy, especially for women, because they say we're freaks about sex, or they want to use it as an excuse when they screw up. Hey people use it all as a defense when they commit a crime and they even get off.
I'd give anything to be NORMAL, alot of those people do not really know what it feels like to suffer daily. Yes, normies have occassional ups and downs, but with all the med hype and advertisements giving out symptoms, it makes it easy for someone to say that they are bp when they are not in order to get what i mentioned above.

I'm quite upset now. I don't like following fashion

Does that mean I'll run into someone wearing a baby blue polyester suit?

Me too!!!
I was goth in the 90's (haha, quaker boarding school, only goth!)
and stopped when I had kids (didn't want to scare them) as soon as I stopped it became popular....damnit, I got beat up for nothing!!!

I think it's cos beepers are probibly more adventurous than others fashion wise, in mania anyway.....so maybe we are the trend setters! The madonnas of life haha.

A woman I know said BP is the new black.
She's rich and goes to therapists just to fill out her bland life.Sad.
I had to keep cool.

Is it bad that I still have my Doc Martens?

I was always ahead f fashion too. Like a year. Now I could care less. So I'm still a dork! A dork with BP pretty sad:)
