I often find people asking me why I do the "crazy" things that I do or act in the manner I do. I tell them its because of chemical inbalances in my brain a.k.a bipolar disorder. Even people that know about it, like my mother just this weekend, say "don't blame it on that" or "you're just using that as an excuse/crutch."
This infuriates me to no end. Does anyone else have this issue? And if so, what are some good ways to convince people that you literally cannot help some of the ways you act or decisions you make.
