Why is it that, when fighting bi-polar, you make a fool of yourself??

I can't count the times I've opened me mouth & swallowed foot! It's no wonder I shun people & try to keep quiet

I'm in washington DC and I can't tell you how many people in this town WITHOUT bipolar swallow their foots daily!

 

You're being too harsh on yourself.  Bi-polar can sometimes lead us make some mistakes socially and personally -- but you are most likely judging yourself MUCH harsher than others are. 

 

For me, the key words you used here are "you are fighting bi-polar!"  How awesome is that!  You know you've got this illness and you go at it.  Some days may be better than others, but we all swallow a foot once in a while!
