I've never been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but we have a very healthy family history.
It's obviously a great feeling, but "There are things that I am passionate about" can be the worrying part, can tend to end up a little too passionate.
The bipolar meds made me forget I was interested in language. I was a linguistics major. I majored in linguistics because I've had a lifelong fascination with langauge.
Ninja edit: I was on bipolar meds throughout grad school, which is why I was fired twice in a year for gross incompetence and haven't worked for the last ten years.
I've seen stuff like that happen, it's rough.
There's a very fine line between "I don't care about anything" and "I care about this thing so much that I'm yelling on the street casually waving around this revolver". That second part is unfortunately sourced from personal experience when someone I cared about was not on their meds. The worst part is how quickly the mood can shift.
I'll never fully understand your struggle, but I know it's rough and I hope you're doing better.
