As I've found people really don't get it.

I had to take the day off yesterday to see my dr as I was not coping and this woman I work with says she knows exactly how I feel ... I wanted to scream at her that no she did not know what I'm going through nor would I want anyone to. People also seem to think you can snap out of it ... wish that was the case!

I'm lucky to have a friend who also has bipolar 2 but living in NZ most people think anyone who has anything above depression is a "crazy" person so I am very hesitant to tell anyone about my diagnosis.
