Here's the thing.
And this is from first hand experience of Bipolar disorder.
Can you afford NOT to fly with a bipolar disorder?? Flying offers relief
that you will not EVER receive from chemicals. The sense of satisfaction and
acheivement, the indescribable joy it will bring you will be so healing that
you will not to be able to do without.
It will bring you focus in a way that cannot be acheived in any other way
that I'm aware of. It puts the world into perspective and teaches to manage
potential risks and dangerous situations that make managing mood swings etc
seem a simple task.
The only times I have to resort to chemical symptomatic relief now is when I
don't fly. Like two years ago when I broke my leg on a bloody motorcycle.
The added bonus is that at the end of the day, you'll be hanging out with
some of the craziest nuts you'll EVER meet. ;-)
Like me. Keep taking you current medication. But I promise that if you work
hard enough one day on top of the stack at cloud base you'll get one of
those moments of clarity that will furnish you with the beginnings of
strength that will change that bipolar monkey forever.
See you in the big blue one day.

No amount of money will bring you the happiness and joy that flying does.
Get it into perspective. Don't waste time.
