Something I have been pondering a little more lately, especially now that I have decided to accept and embrace my bipolar disorder, is...Who Am
I? This is an especially challenging question because it is complicated with the bipolar. I mean, of course, I know what my basic attributes are, but some of my other ones I wonder if they truly are who I am or if they are just manifestations of my disorder.
For example, I'd like to think I'm basically a happy person. But when I get uber-happy, is that mania or just that I'm feeling really good? Or when I get depressed, is that who I really am? Or maybe I am all of these things and none.
Maybe I should compile a list of what I "know" about myself?
What about you? How would YOU answer the question, "Who Am I"?
