Im 24 yrs old and I found out I am Bipolar 6 months ago. Im having such a hard time excepting it. Im young and to be out in public and to have a manic attack must be embarrassing. I havent had 1 yet but Im so scared that I will. Im a senior in college and Im scared to go back. I always ask myself why me what did I ever do to deserve this I get good grades I play softball. I just wish I could just understand that. Is there any advice I could get to help me to excepting it?

Hi! I saw your post and I went through the same thing.. I am 24 also & was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I know you're looking for the simple answer to why me, but unfortunately there isn't one. I've learned that it has made me somewhat of a stronger person because I make it through the day with this against me. My therapist suggested reading the book "An Unquiet Mind" even if your case isn't as bad as the authors, it still makes you thinks.
