This is my greatest issue with the disease. I am addicted to my mania and because of it I have messed up a lot of the different relationships with my friends, family, etc...

I told a friend this morning and though he has major mental health issues, he didn't take it well. He thought I was just "making excuses".
Coming out as gay was much easier for me than coming out as bipolar. People have stigmas and we live in a world where everyone is very narcissistic and you're coming out process with usually be the person victimizing them selves over it. Tell who you trust but I have hidden my status from many people with an attitude that I am who I am and I can only help myself. Hugs.
