Should I feel like a freak for having mental illnesses?

Question

I feel like a freak because I am bipolar. Also, I suffer from depression and anxiety. One person told me I don't need to be in a relationship because I'm bipolar.

Wow, that is awful. But here’s a little secret: almost no one is sane.

Answer

Girlll. Tell them to take a big fucking hike off of a cliff. I’ve had Bipolar Depression for 2 years not. It does not make you a freak or any less of a person. I’m telling you, if I could meet who said that to you, I’d kick their ass. No mental illness should EVER define you. I say fuck ‘em. I let it be a tool for me to help other people. You’re wonderful and amazing 💜 Don’t let it get the best of you. Much love 💕

Answer

You’re not bipolar, you have bipolar disorder.  Don’t let it define you

Answer

I’m bipolar and married with 3 children, life is great, don’t let anyone tell you how you should live your life 😘

Answer

That person doesn't understand what you're going through and can honestly fuck off

Answer

girl I have anxiety, diagnosed with dysthymia depression, and may not be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, bit I know I'm bipolar. 
therefore, it DOES NOT define you as a person. whether a label or not, you're still human and can have WHATEVER you want out of life. 
if someone can't accept you for you, it's not your loss, it's theirs. don't ever question this and don't feel crazy. you didn't ask for a diagnosis, you were probably born with it, or have developed it from trama. it's who you are, won't ever change, and until you learn to accept it and tell people to kiss your ass, you'll always question it. 
I promise you, you're not crazy, and you're not physco. you're human baby, and nobody is perfect💖

Answer

It's normal if you feel like a freak. But you definitely aren't one. I have anxiety and depression and people just don't understand how my brain can come up with 500 scenarios of what can go wrong. To me it's perfectly rational but to them im crazy.

Answer

I battle depression and anxiety so anyone I date has to understand it comes with the bill lol take me all or nothing
