Why don't people understand that a lot of the time I just need to sit in silence with someone who I know really cares... Someone who shows me that they care by not punishing me for my symptoms and not telling me I'm selfish for feeling so depressed sometimes, or that mania isn't so bad cause at least you get stuff done; not just someone who feels like it's their obligation to babysit me when I'm suicidal, then when I'm not suicidal they just act like I shouldn't need anything and I should just be fine. There is a f-ing grey area between okay and not okay. I can be functioning and still need huge amounts of help. How I seem on the outside is NOT how I really feel.
I guess someone without bipolar has nothing close to a clue what it's like to feel such raging and intense emotions over sometimes seemingly small things.
I feel like the next person who tells me something I don't want to hear or tells me that I shouldn't let the little things bother me is going to get a verbal lashing and that's lucky that's all they're going to get. I'm sick of people treating me like I'm super strong and don't need a thing when I'm actually crumbling inside. I've been through too much bad stuff to deal with anymore right now. I should just stay in bed for the next 3 days like I really want to and see how everyone does without me faking it just to make everyone else happy.
