Lol that's the only problem is I don't know how to except it. My mom used to flip on me for stuff I'd do. My dad he would too but then I think he knew before anyone else what I had. But try explaining why you have done this or that to someone who is very prejudice about the disease. Last night because I was a bit more enthusiastic then usual and more irritable I was asked if I needed to be put into a mental ward because no one is comfortable anymore with me living alone. I'm sure you can imagine how that was just a lovely conversation lol. But I'm also getting it from my ex saying that she's never seen me this bad and she's known me for 7 years. When she found out about me being bipolar (3 of the counselors I've talked to all agreed that it's either bipolar or that it is bipolar but the prescriber refuses to listen to them) she told me that it's just alot to take in and to deal with. Then keeps saying I don't have a problem I just have mood swings. But this is also someone who can get me in an argument in 2.5 seconds on anything. So it's kind of hard to try to ask anyone I know on how to except it because it's either they don't want to believe I'm not well right now or they think excepting it is out of the question. Oh and with my mom she keeps researching on sites about how tapping like tapping parts of your body will make bipolar go away or food and diet will make it go away and asking the spiritual beings of the universe heal me and me grouns all of my stuff into the center of the planet...... Not even joking about that lol first thing that popped into my head was "and I'm the one seeing a shrink....." But sorry for all that I didn't know how to explain it is a small sentence. But how did you guys except it and how do you cope with it?
