When i had to explain it to my family i told them my diagnosis and they didnt understand. They know what bipolar means, but didnt know what MY bipolar looks like.
So i wrote a 7 page letter to all of them giving a detailed look into my daily struggles, what meds im on and what they do, and how i get triggered by certain things.
Once they got that letter it opened up thw dialogue and they truly underatand me now.
Good luck!
