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.

I'm prone to being manic and having mixed episodes. When I'm manic I'm out of control and mean. I'm usually always trying to harm family. Like Christina mentioned, my family does not make me feel guilty even after. I was put in the hospital and my mom and a few others came to visit me. Afterwards they never mention any guilty word abt it. They just asked abt my meds and follow up appts. I have a hard time with humanity but I can take responsibility for my actions. When someone does something nice for me I'll do the same in return for them. I apologize because they do not even make me feel like I should....my actions harmed them or almost did. If I lash out and scare them we can talk abt what happen. I've gotten better with this but you never know. I have low blood pressure btw. I do not go around apologizing all the time abt each and every little thing. But I take responsibility for my actions.
