I fail to see how my two-line response constitutes a "tantrum." Lately the bad days have vastly outnumbered the good, so pardon me if I'm a little discouraged by it. I take my pills like a good little girl and I go to therapy regularly, but that doesn't prevent the mood swings. I'm not having a "tantrum..." I'm grieving the life that I had imagined for myself before bipolar really set in. Am I not allowed to grieve the goals and dreams which are already lost?
If you have managed to achieve everything you had ever hoped for in life, the congratulations. But if bipolar has ever limited you or crushed any of your dreams, do you think it is unreasonable to grieve the loss? I don't.
