Did anyone see the NBC Dateline show last night? It featured Jane Pauley and how she came "out" about being diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder and how she's coping.

All of this coincides with her new talk show and a new autobiography released.

Do I resent her statements? No, not at all, but as a person with BiPolar, I am concerned that her attempt to "trivialize" her illness might bode negatively on those who also have BiPolar and are seriously ill. She definitely deserves credit for struggling with the symptoms before diagnosis and then getting treatment. She took her illness seriously and is now back at work which speaks well of her and how she's coping.

Maybe I don't have any issues at all, maybe I'm just upset because I'm not the way I was before BP, and according to the doctor, I never will be. This is as good as it gets.

Maybe this post should go under the "whine" section?
