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.

I feel you on this one. There are things i do that i dont realize i am doing and i can't always help it. To me it feels the same as when your horribly suicidal depressed and someone says "oh just be happy go outside and excersize"... I mean...who would chose this life? If i could make myself happy i would have done so..and if i could control all of my actions/thoughts etc. well then i wouldn't have bi-polar would i.
