My advice would be, this place will allow you to read what experiences people with bipolar have. Deep thoughts, fears and feelings to simple things like -" I hate when my husband asks me if I took my pills". You may learn that people with bipolar are just people. What our mental illnesses do is take our basic personalities - and throw them into a big production at times.

If the person is cruel, they will be maniacally, or depressivly cruel. If the person is kind (like myself) they will be depressivly kind, or manically kind.

Bipolar doesn't make people behave. The basic personality within the person behaves - and the bipolar enhances.
