For some reason I don't mind being bipolar. I'm not afraid to tell people that is what I am and I can control my emotions(except towards my mother) or when something really horrible happens, I act before I think.
Other than that, I am rather normal besides the increased interest in sexual things. 
Is it truely that bad to be missing a chemical in your brain, so much so that people stay away from you? I think the media has made those with mental disorders seem derranged.  |

think about the term.
A "disorder". something that is wrong, bipolar sufferers cannot control their shifts in mood. for untreated sufferers, their lives become hell. suicide risk is high. its a mental condition.
You say "I can control my emotions (except towards my mother) or when something really horrible happens, I act before I think. Other than that, I am rather normal besides the increased interest in sexual things"
Are you sure you are even bipolar? haha. you dont seem it. if you can control yourself. there is nothing wrong with you. You could just be a hormonal teenager, just like the rest of us. which would explain why your "bipolar" tendancies are only amied at your family. its supposed to affect your mentality as a whole. towards eveything and everyone.
of course, if you HAVE been clinically diagnosed with a bipolar mental illness by a trained professional. how long ago was it? if it was years ago, you could have sorted yourself out by now. |

Supposing now time has passed?
Bad periods in your life will obviously cause disturbance in the way we think and behave, but from your description, you seem fine nowadays! 
what you talked of is a comftorble mental state, and a grasp over your temper and control.
I suggest you go back to the psychiatrist who diagnosed you as bipolar, talk to them and explain how you are now and perhaps you can be given the "all clear", as it were!
Good luck!  |
