We are reading this book in English (it's by Steinbeck) and the boy next to me kept telling the class that Ma Joad was bipolar because one second she was a sweet mother and the next she was hitting people over the head with a chicken. I kept trying to explain that bipolar was not at all what Ma Joad had but he wouldn't listen.
No need to comment, just typing it up 'cos it annoyed me.

I can understand you annoyance. I hate it when people are not open to the truth.

I'm sorry but on a brighter note it's a wonderful book.

When I first told my boyfriend that I was bipolar he was scared for about 3 months that I would hit him over the head with a frypan.
He probably should never have put the idea in my head because I have certainly been tempted at times! haha. |

When my pdoc first tried to diagnose me I was in denial (while manic) partly because I had the Same misconceptions about the disorder so it honestly can't blame most people for thinking this way. It is still very frustrating nevertheless.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
