I have bipolar disorder. I have gotten extensive therapy and have been stable on medications for many years. I have a pretty normal life -- haven't been hospitalized in years, have a job, have good, long-term relationships. Now that I'm on the right meds, I see no reason I can't do anything anyone else can do. I know other bipolar folks about whom I could say the same. If someone's on top of it, bipolar disorder doesn't have to be a hindrance at all.
I highly recommend Marya Hornbacher's memoir Madness: A Bipolar Life.
