When I have hurt someone I do apologize. Sure Bipolar sometimes makes me lose my shyt ! I am still responsible for my actions.

Everyone has a responsibility to be a decent human being regardless of having Bipolar or any Medical illness.

I was diabetic when I was pregnant and I apologized a lot... My strict diet made my eating with family and friends difficult for those cooking.

I suffer from Chronic pain, I often have to cancel plans because of it. It sucks I hate it ! It does impact my family and friends.

There are many things that I do not have control over, but acknowledging that at times I have hurt someone or I have to skip things is a small kindness.

* I will say that my family and friends don't make me feel " guilty" about my struggles, So I'm sure that plays into my being more than willing to apologize when ever I feel it needs to be said. I recently had to put my husbands plans of camping off for almost a month due to my BP and pain.
