except i dont. I was welll aware of what was going on in my head and bipolar was not there. as it stands its nothing more than a excuse to violate my rights and my health again. The fact is i can controll my behavior i cant controll others, so if someone has a confronttation with me other something a i cant controll them creating a problem for me. What i f i have a meltdown and someone sees it they are gonna call 911 and the cops are gonna see it and have me evaluated. or if i walk into a hospital er for a medical problem they might put me in the psych unit(this stuff happens on a daily basis). You about bipolar like its something youd want to have. I really dont believe in the concept of mental illness. The label is just nothing more than a legal and social hazard, i can be subject to discrimination in jobs, housing, services, legal proceedings, people can make complaints about me and i would have no recourse to defend my self. Whatever my problems are, noone else has the right to know.
