Me too. I thought i was adopted when growing up because my sister and I were treated so differently. I was alienated from my own family and am alienated to this day from human relationships. This may not have caused my bipolar/schizoaffective but it certainly made it more toxic than it might otherwise have been. I was a successful professional until my mid 40s when I had my first diagnosed manic episode.

no one ever suggested this to me. I think I would have looked at my illness differently if they had.
