I learned that I was bipolar some years ago. While I sometimes fail at it, I do my best to at least try not make it a get out of jail free card excuse for anything and everything. I sometimes have to remind myself of my "vow." It's not because of anything in fandom, it's because it's the condition my brother (legitimately) had that he used *constantly* as an excuse to be an asshole. I have this whole "I do not want to be like him!" thing going on. In fact, getting the diagnosis just shattered me because I did not want to have "the asshole-disease" that I thought it was because of my relation's behavior/excuses.

That said, I've been a terrible asshole in fandom in the past. I think the fact that I've mellowed out, found better places to be, become more chill is (in part due to simple growing up), but is also a testament to THE POWER OF MEDS.

I'm not shy about my condition online. I pretty much like to "warn" people, since I tend to like keeping my distance / am wary of friendship, anyway.

I can relate to this a bit, anon. When I realized I had depression in high school and (more specifically) when I realized I was hurting people because I was evading taking responsibility for it, I was scared I was going to turn out like my grandma, who never sought help for her mental issues (depression was probably one of them, since my mom and sister have both had it in the past too) and inflicted a lot of pain on her family, even though she loved them. (This was before I was in fandom, though.)

I totally agree about meds. They can be an excellent option; they really helped me.
