UGh. Don't even get me started. I like your expression "grinds my nerves" its so true!
I've been struggling at work lately with staff members calling people "bipolar" as an insult. I can feel myself becoming angry and defensive of all of us as a whole. I'm pretty sure my face turns bright red.
Anika- you are so courageous! Telling people. I know its a way to break the stigma, its just so hard to tell people these things. I have managed to tell close friends - but family and people at work dont know. Im afraid of losing my job.
