Hi tipper1492

I understand where you are coming from. I used to be labeled bipolar until I got loosed from that diagnosis. I had some friends who had me over and they said this to me...in a joking manner...."you aren't going to come and kill us in our sleep are you?" They must have seen some media story on someone who killed their kids and "they were BP" Give me a break. Even though they were kind of joking...it hurt my feelings. I am not friends with them anymore. I just understand that they are ignorant when it comes to mental illness. I would find friends who will support you and your BP dx. This is the best way to have true friends. They are out there. There are many who will understand. Please don't give up on friendships and being honest with them. Peace.
