Just gave it a read, (didn't have the motivation yesterday). I really liked it.
Those are in fact the 3 things that I flip out about EVERY time: if someone calls me crazy or things like that, if someone tells me to calm down/get over it, and if people give me that horrible attention that isn't sympathy but judgemental pity. I will pretty much freak out to various extents no matter where I am in the cycle: depressed, hypomanic, or baseline. I will in fact flip out.

I'm glad you liked it. It really touched a chord with me. I could have written it myself. Please if you haven't read it, give it a go and I'd love your opinion

Excellent, and a fun read, too. What an amazing way to explain the illness.
