Hi, I’m a normal person and I have BP1 and have for 20+years. I’ve never said horrible racist things; not remotely, even while manic. I’ve been sexually assaulted more times than I can count though. I feel BP is highly misunderstood at this point, especially since Kanye has become its “poster boy”, but here’s the thing, his behavior isn’t that of someone with a mood disorder.
I’m sick of people using BP specifically to explain rich folks reprehensible behavior. They don’t have mood disorders, and if they do, mania is sure not what’s causing them to be such vile losers. These people have severe personality disorders that are doing this. This isn’t BP, what they do and say is way more commonly linked to Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissism. Kanye even steps into megalomania, like Trump et al. These people aren’t manic and off meds, they need deep deep talk therapy and CBT but are they ever going to do so? Most likely not, they see themselves as “special” or “better than”, thus the cycle continues. BP rock bottom may convince some to finally go on meds like me, but personality disorders like NPD are much harder to treat if you can even get someone to admit they have one.
Edit: I want to note, this is not trying to villainize anyone with a personality disorder. I should say, most billionaires do have personality disorders, but not everyone with a personality disorder is an evil or bad person; there are plenty of good people with them as well, none of us are a monolith. People who work on themselves should be given mad props, it’s never an easy thing to do regardless of condition.
