People trivialise bipolar, even on this forum. Many people go through normal mood fluctuations yet blame them on bipolar as soon as they make a mistake or need an excuse for their stupid behaviour. That annoys me way more than people who use it in a lighthearted joking matter.
There are many of us who really do suffer. And to have someone with a mild mood fluctuation say that they are bipolar is a kick in the teeth to those that have real problems.
