yup, people don't follow me as serious and mark me as a loon. not proud to be bipolar but it explains things. if I could have this condition with little people knowing I'd feel better, but can't. not in denial but bothered by people's reactions. yeah guess I shouldn't care what people think but having all of this engraved on me makes me worry. it's hard to snap my fingers and say 'yeah I don't care about what people think, woohoo!' not that easy at all, that's how people talk to me sometimes. I know I have bipolar but I'm bothered by it to an extent. I don't view other bipolar folks or myself as 'crazy' but other people seem to.
