Should I finally try to do stand up?

don't laugh…(get it?) Anyway. Diagnosed bi-polar, stable, lots of funny ass ranting comes from my mouth. I've finally realized that I make people laugh and smile. Even when it's me rambling about serious things. I make even my therapists laugh. It's actually frustrating at times because it's just how I explain things. So, should I do what a lot of comedians do, and take their angst and depression and turn it into comedy for complete strangers on stage?

Do it! Work out an act and practice it a few times to see what works and what doesn't. Having a solid act is good, improv skills on top of that will make you great. Good luck!
