How do you deal with Bipolar Disorder?

I was diagnosed about 3 or 4 years ago. It's still driving me crazy and I can't cope with the fact that I'll never be a regular person. Any advice?

Keep trying with the medications and don't give up if one (or two or three) done work. Same with therapy. You may never completely grow out of it, but you will be amazed at the change in life you will see as you grow older.
My sister was horribly bipolar as a teenager. Now in her early 20's, you would barely know. She is very happy, in love, and working. I NEVER would have thought she would get this far. Im so happy for her, she deserves it, she went through hell, and you deserve the same happiness!

Lots of bipolar persons live perfectly normal lives. You just need to treat the symptoms. See your health care professional for advice. Good Luck.
what type of bi polar
my sister has phycotic bi polar with boarder line scitzo
You won't be "regular" in what sense? You are regular just not like others. Best way to deal with it is to find a great therapist and a good shrink. Take your meds and please let the people close to you know about your disorder so they aren't shocked by strange behaviors when and if they happen.
Good luck to you.
first of all just because you're bipolar doesn't mean that you can't be a "regular person"
i've been diagnosed with a variety of mental illnesses (bipolar being one of them) but that doesn't mean that i'm not a "regular" person, it just means that my brain chemistry is a little out of whack.
it's no different than having diabetes (and if you're like me you hate that analogy but it's true). just because you suffer from an illness doesn't mean you can live a perfectly happy and "normal" life.
i would check your local area and see if they have a bipolar support group, sometimes talking to other people with the same/similar dx's can help.
if you ever want to talk e-mail me.
