Ive become quite jaded over the diagnosis of bipolar, the more widespread it becomes, the more it feels like just an excuse.

Hypersexuality "must be manic!"
Anxiety "must be mixed!!"
Emotional dysregulation "must be rapid cycling!"

Depression "only meds can fix your lazy arse"

The use of "coping skills" is nearing on ridiculous, basic life skills seem not to be taught these days, breathing is a coping skill? Well duh, I thought we needed that to survive!
