  • Who deemed Julia Fast an "Expert" as a bipolar patient? What might be a stumbling block for her in terms of being inaccurate in her abilities could not be of issue for untold numbers of people with bipolar. She is not a psychiatrist so she should not pseudo diagnose others.

  • Julie Fast is by no means claiming to be a psychiatrist. She is just one individual with bipolar speaking from her own experience. Thank you for your comment.

  • This bitch is so greedy to be complaining. Many with the disorder are much worse off than her and she's bitching.

  • I wish the bipolar person in my family had even .02% of Julie's personality or ambition. I hope Julie knows how lucky she is. Truly, seriously, lucky.

  • this is a big thing with me on one hand i could use it as an excuse on the other i can blame my self on those days i genuinely cant do much

  • @hippiechick61367 love you too

  • @dafunker00 hahahahaha

  • @aleon1018 hey, me too!

  • hmmm.. perhaps she is manic during this interview?

  • At first I was put off and it seemed more like an excuse not to do something. But as a person who has been diagnosed with bipolar and beyond, I think it's easy to get overwhelmed and quit and it gets eaier to walk away or not try saying; " I can't"

    Which was one of the most common things I've said growing up.

    I think it can also be similar to or undiagnosed mild autism.

    My father said I would never amount to anything and yet I have sucessfully achieved collecting disability.
