One thing I have been thinking about for quite awhile is all of my feelings are attributed to being mentally ill. I'm wondering if anyone else gets this and how they react, what they say.
A couple of examples.
My husband, if I get angry with him about anything, goes strait to I'm bipolar so he discounts anything I'm thinking or saying. Like I don't have the right to have any feelings cuz they are not real.
My mom too, if I'm happy or excited, she asks did you take your meds.

I just want to give a great big middle finger to these people sometimes, first of all even feelings when I'm not exactly stable are still feelings and I should be allowed to feel.

Just something I've been thinking about for a while.
