you shouldnt have to ask forgiveness for being manic depressive. its not your fault. i understand that you feel alone but, even though you cant see us, everyone here is here for you whether your brother is or not.

my sister is the same way. she threatened to not attend my high school graduation because she didnt approve of the guy I was dating at the time....

to me it seems like maybe he is frustrated? he is also probably feeling very alone and doesnt know how to deal with that plus you being bipolar. im sure he wants to help but doesnt feel he can do anything. dealing with people who have bipolar disorder can make you feel very helpless because you know there is nothing really that you can do for them besides be there.

im sure if you give it some time he will come around and be more understanding. and if he doesnt, you always have people here to help you as much as we can.
