Hey Brooklynn:

You have to remember that Bipolar is NOT you. Bipolar is an illness that you have. Do not believe that you ARE Bipolar because you are not, believe what is the truth, that you are you, nothing changes that and you HAVE Bipolar. You are NOT Bipolar.

So describe yourself as who YOU ARE and you will have no confusion and will not blend together w/ Bipolar because they are absolutely 2 different things.

Be safe and be well
J xx Source(s): What I have learned as having Bipolar

Differentiate your MOOD from your personality.

You have a mood disorder, NOT a personality disorder.

Start there.
Are you tired, sleepy, hungry? Is your hair wet? Do you have athlete's foot? Is your nose runny? Do you have diarrhea?

Most of us would answer those questions YES at one point in our lives, and NO at other points.

Same goes for bipolars. Sometimes they are depressed. Sometimes they are bouncing off the walls.

Your mood is whatever it happens to be at the moment, whether you are bipolar or not.
that would depend on which problem your dealing with at the time, Or what you are when your okay. I personally have two personalities and I struggle to be as close to the person I want to be , no matter which is in place at the time. Most of us can learn to control our behavior if we want to bad enough.
I describe my moods not my personailty by the fact that I"m bipolar...

My personality is mostly bitchy though lol which has nothing to do with my mood disorder, its inherited lol.

Mine really swing, so if I'm close to someone I tell the stright up I"m bipolar and pretty good at contorling my moods but sometimes I can't and they go out of control.
my best friend is bipolar and she says she has the personality of a tiger...she loves hard...cries deep...if she is your friend there is no one more loyal...but if she is not...DUCK!!!!!
