There's a great article on the wiki about bipolar disorder that I just stumbled across. As someone who's been living with bipolar disorder all my life, I'm particularly careful about distinguishing between doing things impulsively versus being thoughtful about them. This applies to how I'm handling my transgender issues as well as most other aspects of my life. For example, I decided to follow the standards of care as I start transition in spite of the fact that I have access to IC care.
I'm curious if anyone else here is working with bipolar issues as well, and how that has affected access to care and resources. My worst fear is having this be something that prevents me from moving toward my transition goals... I've honestly been too scared to Google that.
