I hate the new "I'm bipolar, too, yay!" trend. There's a bipolar spectrum, yeah, but I'm so tired of people whose lives haven't been ruined by this disease, who haven't ever had a manic episode, who think that changing moods, any moods, means you're bipolar. Self-diagnosis because you felt a little sad one day but you're not normally all that sad isn't cool.

Just, Jesus. I can't be in the military in my country. I can't donate eggs or my brain. I have to take mood stabilizers and anti-depressants every day, and I physically can't sleep if I forget because the withdrawal is so bad. I can't be an EMT or a firefighter. I can't get approved for medical insurance because I have a "pre-existing condition". I can't work in most high stress jobs all because my parents didn't think, "you know what? Our families have laundry lists of mental disorders. Let's not have a kid". How is that cool?

I've definitely seen the type you're referring to and share your frustration, but I would like to add that if you happen to be bipolar II, it can be difficult to get a doctor to take you seriously. I had a psych tell me I couldn't be bipolar because I wasn't getting drunk, shoplifting, going on spending sprees, or having promiscuous sex. I, however, was going close to 72hrs without sleep because the characters in my head would not shut up until I wrote them, and I have all sorts of classic bipolar symptoms, just not to the same extent as type I.

I really HATE the people who think it's "cool" because it meant that I basically had no support network when I was trying to deal with my mental issues pre-diagnosis, when I couldn't get a doctor to take me seriously, because people assumed that, ohai, you're one of those people. *sigh*

Asperger's and other autism spectrum disorders too. If you're not Rainman you're just making it up so you can get away with being a dick on the internet.

Completely agree with all of this. I just don't understand people who are so eager to diagnose themselves with a disorder that destroys lives. It's not fun or glamorous and it doesn't make you special. People with mood disorders, especially ones as extreme as bipolar disorder, suffer a LOT. It really bothers me when a person says, "Well, my moods change a lot, so I must be bipolar", or people who are like, "I've been called bipolar by my friends, so I probably am". No, you would KNOW if you were bipolar. It's not a question of "maybe". Being happy and then being irritated =/= bipolar disorder.
