...that basically everything you do that they don't like is because your bipolar is out of control and you need to see your psychiatrist and therapist on an emergency basis, because you are clearly not okay and they are very worried about you.

But in truth, you feel quite stable and are pretty darn sure that the issue has more to do with the family member not being comfortable with what you've done or said than it has to do with your Bipolar Disorder or your stability. And when you calmly and kindly tell them that, they reply with, "I'm truly trying to help you, I just don't think you're able to see what's happening right now. That's the thing."

Yes, this keeps happening to me. And I am getting reeeallly tired of it.


What do you do when you feel your being accused of being unstable, when in fact you feel quite stable, but get normally angry and respond in a normal way, then your family member accuses you of being unstable?
