No, neither do I. What I mean, is I find it disrespectful that our OP expressed her responses should be different because of the bipolar. As someone who has that label and all, I'm a bit annoyed. I was also annoyed by the "do people with bipolar like...?" Post. As if my bipolar gives me my person and preferences, as if we're all the same. As if, simply by suffering some similar symptoms, I can tell the OP some secret insight into her boyfriend's behavior.

Yes, bipolar people share symptoms. What we don't share is personality, experience, preferences and coping. And is a support forum for people WITH bipolar really the place to go because your ex just happened to have bipolar to?

I think that's what is really bugging me here.

Call me out if I'm wrong. I'm used to being wrong
