The specific words don't bother me that much, but the people who make jokes about mental illness bother me. Like they even understand how devastating mental illness can be. They take it lightly instead of taking it seriously. Especially if you've got a lot of functionality having bipolar, but you hide the symptoms well in order to fit in, people don't take you seriously when you really are feeling manic or depressed.
