My T thinks I may be bi polar. I've suspected that I may be bi polar or borderline for a while. I'm not scared, I'm just happy that someone is taking my crazy mood swings and destructive thought patterns seriously and am excited to get some help! However, when I mention this possibility to friends they a) act like I just told them the most personal and uncomfortable thing ever or b) don't believe it and trivialize me. It's frustrating and discouraging. The lady thing I need is to have something else make me different or misunderstood. I already deal with so much depression and anger because people are dumb and don't get me or other things. Has anyone dealt with this before? It's not like everyone with such a diagnosis (or the possibility thereof) is Sylvia Plath!
