My friends don't believe it either. It usually goes like this when I tell them.
Me: 'Something happened to me and I had a psychotic break. The doctors think maybe I'm bipolar'
Friend: 'You? No way. You're so put together'
Me: ' I hallucinated and my children were disappearing before my eyes. I thought my husband was doing it and he was evil'
Friend: 'I still cannot believe that. You love him'
Me: 'Let me show you the pictures of what my hallway looked like after I kicked the walls in trying to find my disappearing children'
Friend: 'Woah. You went nuts'
Me: ' And that's why I was in the hospital for 10 days after my brain snapped.'
