The "You seem so normal." and "You don't seem crazy." don't really bother me. I take it in the spirit that I hope they intended it. It was the lady last night thinking that bipolar people can't help being abusive that stuck in my craw.

My mania presents as extreme rage. I get none of the warm fuzzy on top of the world feelings that most get. I just get mad and EVERYTHING peeves me off. And yet I've never laid a finger on anyone, except in self defense.
