I have not missed even one dose of medication in 3 years. ... Anybody who has bipolar should get treatment and stay in treatment.

I am glad you said that. Someone I love very dearly has BPD and will not ever consider any treatment for it BECAUSE she believes her uncontrollable emotions are a blessing from God. To get treatment would be to alter the way God made her in her mind.

I insist that my bipolar life has been a blessing and will continue to be so.

Isn't all life a blessing to have? Creating suffering for self and others ... not so much.

I would want to tell your loved one who has bipolar that the treatment is also a gift from God that can help her to harness (not eliminate) her strong emotions in such a way that Bipolar will be an even greater blessing. When the energy, impulsivity, racing thoughts, and grandiose thinking are gently harnessed they can help one succeed. They become vitality, initiative, brainstorming, and big goals accompanied with some inspiration and confidence. Put that into the hands of God and he will do something magnificent.
