Hey, welcome to the site =)

I'm not bipolar, I'm schizoaffective. A lot of times I wonder if I was misdiagnosed because I question a lot of things though.

Even though I received and immediately accepted my diagnosis about 4 or 5 years ago I *still* hear that bulls**t a lot of the time. It makes me so mad. And desperate sometimes. Especially now that I'm in between providers. Everyone notices a difference when I'm treatment I can manage better; when I'm not I'm a complete mess.

I share your frustration. All who personally go through this do. It's annoying and, frankly, ignorant for people to say sh**ty things like that. It's not like we can wake up & paint smiles on our faces for the world while still being convincing - even if it feels that way some or most of the times.

All we can do is call for support when we are willing, able & need it.



That's for you =)
