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?

No not at all I was diagnosed bipolar after being hospitalized for having a bad bipolar episode( wont get into detail) but ever since everyday is a struggle to try and cope with the non bipolar people I sometimes start flipping out on someone and have to remind myself to just chill. Its very hard to deal with it especially when they try to tip toe around it. Just try your best to help her understand
