okay so who cares? she finally went off the deep end and now everyone is saying what we have all been saying this whole freaking time... she's bipolar. what really gets my goat is an article i saw about it, saying that bipolar disorder is a psychological disease. hello! it so is not! it even goes on to quote some whack job "expert" who says, and i quote "When a person has this kind of problem, it's very hard for them to be a good parent. The main thing is for the person to go through treatment and recover ... But they generally have to hit bottom in order to turn around and recover"
okay... here are some little known facts for those of you who may not know me very well.
1. I am bipolar (on the deppressive side)
2. I am a damned good mother to my son
3. I have never hit bottom
okay, i did attempt suicide 4 years ago, but that was back when i was told i was 'borderline personality' and being treated with the wrong medications. they got me on the right stuff now and i can take care of myself.
its true that if you dont get help you can go crazy, but just because a person is bi-polar doesn't not mean that they are not fit to be parents or that they have some sort of disease. i take offense to that statement and that article.
so f-you people magazine. f-you!
