Do we have to define ourselves really?

I hate how often the word gets thrown around and used. [I Have Bipolar 2]

Dumpster Fire [I Am Bipolar]

I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that I'm so complacent when I'm depressed, or that I'm so disconsolate when I'm manic. Why can't I just be happy? What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me? What are you wondering? What do you...
