You might think I'm crazy to suppose there's anything good in being bipolar, much less anything great. Heck, you might think me crazy just for being bipolar. Sure, bipolarity is a b****, and anyone who knows anything about it could come up with an endless reasons why it sucks. Still, there are a lot of good things about it that would not be available to me if I were not born so ... uh, "mentally interesting", such as:
deep emotions
profound perceptions
a lot of creativity and bright ideas
creative expression
the inclination to be multi-talented
the ability to find poetry and art in everything
genius-level intelligence
legal prescription drugs
strength and wisdom that comes from challenge
perseverance
increased productivity ... at certain times
the need to depend on God
spiritual sensitivity and the ability to connect with God easily
coping techniques that turn into skills to focus
the upswing
the quick sort of enjoyable upswing
the capacity for a lot of empathy and compassion
lots of ammunition for counseling
the range to be open-minded
very rewarding joy (when it comes)
hope
For all those things, I am thankful. I am happy that I was not born an average Jane and I don't have to pretend I'm special (that's really funny, because I am too special, haha). Though there are a lot of things in me to make people to write me off, there are also a lot of things in me that make me extremely useful to God.
