People can be really rude when faced with folks they know who have issues like bipolar. I work with individuals who are disabled and they have to hear all kinds of remarks that are unsupportive too. It makes me sad when I hear comments that are rude like that.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this problem from people who are supposed to be your friends. Maybe giving them some information on bipolar for them to read may be helpful. It might give you all an opportunity to talk about it openly and you can tell them that when they make those kinds of comments it is truly hurtful.

Hugsssssss
