Why is it when a normal person goes through hell their emotions are acknowledged and their worries validated? People look at and consider the evidence of their plight and act with concern and support.
I am going through hell right now yet my worries have been dismissed and treated as invalid. Despite the evidence for my worry and anxiety they treat me with disdain and accuse me of over reacting. Given the identical circumstances people would rush to acknowledge and support the 'normal' person yet, because I am bipolar my feelings must automatically be unreasonable.
The fact is there exists a great deal of evidence these situations will go badly. No matter how 'reasonable' I try to be, the evidence nothing is wrong is non-existent. I think I am due acknowledgement and validation. I want acknowledgement that the situations are difficult and upseting. I want it recognized that my worries are reasonable and to be expected.
I am not running away with my thoughts and jumping to unfounded conclusions. Conjecture has been based on fact. The difficult conclusions are likely.
