I hate hypomania, of course, but I especially hate the stigma behind my disorder. There are so many people I see/hear all the time, or even read online, that say things like omg she was being so bipolar!! wow he's crazy, he's like bipolar or something! And it makes me very sensitive to being called "crazy" and whatnot. I tell very few people about my disease because of this. One person, a psychology professor, remarked after I told her, "I would've never guessed that from you, you seem so smart." Excuse me? I didn't know that those suffering from mental illness are barred from ALL mental tasks.
