My family is not supportive either. None of them have mental illnesses, so they don't know what it's like to have one.

I have ADHD and bipolar, and my parents make fun of both. "ADHD is fake. It's a poor excuse for not working hard." Then with bipolar, they say, "Anyone who's bipolar is crazy. They should be locked up in a mental ward for the rest of their lives because they're a danger to society."

My sister's friend's mom is bipolar, and my parents say she's not allowed to go to her friends house anymore "because her mother is a complete psychopath who will hurt you".

So yeah... They're not very understanding at all. I feel your pain.

Stigma is a b****.

I don't think they can lock you up, though. They might be able to call the cops and have them drag you into IP, but if you're found to be stable, they'll probably get in trouble for filing a false police report.
