People don't understand it. And hence they fear what they don't understand. So they say things like "oh she texts too much she's bipolar" or "that person is crazy she be actin all bipolar"

Its a negative stigma and it upsets me. There are so many wanna be psychiatrists out there giving their two cents on what bipolar is, when they don't have a dam clue.

But usually I am careful who I tell I am bipolar to. I find that knowing someone a good amount of time and establishing trust is the way to go. I don't want to be feared. I just want to be loved
