I only have three right now:
1) In the middle of an episode, people like to tell me "Oh I can't even tell!" And I've had hospital doctors and random pharmacists know I'm manic just looking at me, so these people either are lying because they think it will make me feel better, or I'm some special brand of manic that only doctors can see.
2) People referring to bipolar as BPD, because they are two different things and I don't want people to think I have BPD because I don't. Even on this forum I want to throw my computer out the window when it happens but I know usually this is just because they are misinformed so I'm usually able to keep myself from hulking out.
3) People who say "I wish I was manic" or "I wish I had your problem." People used to say it all the time when I was suffering with anorexia. YOU DO NOT WANT MY PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO DIE. You obviously don't know how extremely painful it is, how miserable I am. I get livid when I hear this.

Underneath this skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
