My GF says I need to learn how to deal with non-bipolar people (namely her). She is upset about how there are so many books and articles about how to deal with a bipolar spouse/family member/boyfriend but nothing about how a person with bipolar should treat others.

I don't know how the hell to feel about this. I want to tell her off so bad, but at the same time I can't help but wonder if is true. She is sitting there reading everything she can find about my illness. In contrast I am like a bump on a log. I am trying to help me, I am working on becoming stable but I ain't reading about how to deal with her.

Am I wrong for that? Am I being selfish?
