I hear it all the time. I'm bipolar with severe episodes of psychosis that can last a year (my doctors thought I was schizophrenic then schizoaffective, now I'm in remission and my diagnosis changed to bipolar disorder). I really don't know how to react when someone's asking me why I work only seven hours a day and have a dorm room for disabled people. It happens every week and I'm not sure if I should be like "hey, I experience acute psychosis"?! People get curious though. Really curious. I just feel down sometimes since I get some financial benefits because of being a disabled student and worker. I feel like a fraud at times even though I know I'm not. How should I reply to questions about my disability? I'd gladly tell people about my bipolar disorder, but I feel like they can get scared of me or they dismiss it as having "high and lows".
