It could be just because I'm manic but I get explosively angry when people try to tell me they relate to what I'm going through with my BP and there's no way in hell they could. (Clearly I'm angry while I'm writing this too).

I absolutely hate it when people tell me 'oh yeah I have anxiety too' or 'everyone gets a little depressed sometimes' .....it just makes me want to rip people's heads off. My mania always devolves from that awesome, invincible feeling to complete and utter 'I feel like I'm going to die at any moment' panic 24 hours a day.

Am I being irrational (and I get very irrational when I'm manic) or does this make anyone else angry?

Logically I know a lot of times people's intent is good and they think they're trying to make me feel better and sympathize but it just seems to make things worse.
