Person with bipolar here: I'm nervous as hell to ever state on an official document that I have bipolar in the event it will somehow disqualify me from positions or things I would otherwise be perfectly capable of, as if it were some debilitating handicap. Perhaps a bit of paranoia, but really, you're correct with this: That said I do try get assistance when I can, but damn is it a fucking hassle dealing with insurance and, when it doesn't go through, fuck can it be pricey. 7

I've been commenting a lot in the past two days saying that I signed away my 2nd amendment right after getting out of a mental ward. I think it should be done more often. My dad was in the pre-Reagan system (institutionalized for a bit on insulin and electro shock for months). Things have gotten better, but access and bed space needs to exist. What we can't do is just send people to the ER or through a multiweek waiting period. Hell most of the preventative stuff can be done on video chat.
