I'm NOT defending them but they probably do it because they don't understand you. Ignorance is the basis of so much hate. It's nearly impossible to say don't let it get to you because it's your family and they shouldn't treat you like ****-but you aren't lazy. I feel like many people think I'm lazy too. People can't wrap their minds around our behaviors because they don't experience what causes those behaviors.

Hang in there. Your bipolar family (that would be us) gets you and supports you. Don't know if the means anything to you but I thought I'd put it out there.
