This is just the **** that I need in my life.

I'm pretty "out" as a bipolar person. Both at my work and personal life. I haven't said that because people have been pretty outspoken about not doing so at work. I had already been in an article during Mental Health Awareness month at work. He struggles with his bipolar because he's not taking medicine or receiving proper care.

Increase the stigma, Kanye. Thanks man.

In fairness, I announced I was running for president in 2007. I was no longer working and chronically manic and psycnotic. I started wearing all my nicest suits, when I should have been in shorts and flops. So, yeah, it happens.

At this point I don’t care If he has bp or not. The people around him should either step in or distance themselves from his nonsense. They did it with Brittney.

Honestly, the guy refuses to take any meds and publicly admits that. He knows he is reckless in a lot of ways, but he says that bipolar is his "superpower." I think that says a lot about him and how he feels about bipolar.

I do not feel bad for him one bit for making a clown out of himself. He needs treatment of some sort, but he refuses. At this point, the onus is on him and he should take full responsibility for his actions. Even though meds are by no means perfect, at least taking meds shows that you're actively trying to get better.

Good post. I agree.

He should be kept from running for the office. All he could do is mess up the vote as a third party anyway. And as we see, some people can't see mental disorders in candidates. I feel sorry for his wife.

Kim really has to set boundaries and tell Kanye to get help or she will leave him. Super bad for the kids to be around him, and one of them might have bp, so learning that it's ok not to seek treatment is really bad.

what was wrong with britney? (apart from a really bad singing voice)

and I ask that sheerly out of curiosity, not through sarcasm. I was unaware that britney had some kind of mental health issue?

but then I didn't really follow her. I wasn't much of a fan
