Do you know why they're being so nice? I'd suggest finding out, not assuming too much (which from what you wrote, you might do now).

It's good you're not ashamed of being different or "crazy"/crazy, but try to understand why you do what you do, feel what you feel and believe what you believe.

I think it's possible you feel confused because you experience problems while you "shouldn't" rationally, since no-one is shouting anymore, there are no more "enemies", so you invent some, but you feel your rationalisations, your paranoia, aren't correct, leading to more confusion and anxiety.

Find out why they are so nice to you. If it is because you have a "serious, debilitating illness", that's fine, I'd say. Whatever makes them feel better and be more tolerant. Acceptance would be preferable, I guess, but many with BP don't accept is as part of themselves much, even.

Maybe I misinterpreted some of what you wrote. Please tell me if I did.
