I feel this way too and i think I get a lot of other health issues....upper respiratory infections and definitely my migraines as a result of my bipolar "acting out" and becoming physical so people will recognize that I'm sick.
I agree! Migraines knock me out - yesterday had one and after was knocked out for 3 hours. Flat-out exhausted in the middle of the day. No one understands that you aren't faking the pain. And nobody understands that bipolar can be quite a lot of suffering. That you feel alone and unloved when psychotic.
