that you could just wear a sign that says, "Yes I'm Bipolar - Deal With It!"

I find so often that I get so angry and/or frustrated with people and myself and this triggers me to impulsively do those things that we all know are part of the illness: go out and spend a minor fortune, lose my temper with total strangers, say or do stupid things, inhale the fridge! But sometimes it would be so nice to not have to worry about the stigma and people's reactions and just say, "Hey, I have this illness that makes me do and say things that at the time seem a really good idea but probably aren't so could you get off my back and stop treating me like an idiot/mass murderer/your mother-in-law?!" And watch them fall over themselves with apologies.

Just my little vent
