6) Try to overcome your moods; it might be just a vitamin deficiency and you don't even look like you had any problems.
7) Your depression is another one of those 'teen depressions', it will be gone before you know it. 8) You only think you are low, and that is just because your mind's not busy enough. Last edited by JoyDivision7680; Dec 06, 2013 at 10:39 AM. |

9. Get over it
10. There's nothing actually wrong. 11. You've got a good life, what's the problem? 12. There are a lot of people who have things a lot worse than you do. 13. You should take medication.

14. There's nothing really wrong, it's just in your head
15. Are you sure you're not just hormonal? (which is what my mom asked when I told her my dx) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

17) "It's your depression talking" (no, sometimes it's my realism talking).
18) "If you don't take meds, your brain will kindle and you will kill yourself" 19) "There is no hope for you with this illness" 20) "I know what bipolar is, there's been report about it on TV" (usually refering to two minute soundbite on one of the commercial TVs that claimed that "bipolar formerly known as schizophrenia can also be caused by a tickbite". I swear I heard this on Czech TV station).

"I have known you for years, and you never seemed 'nutty' before. Maybe it is the meds you are taking." (No, I just hid it by isolating. Remember all those times I was hard to reach and you thought that I was just busy).
"I am more bipolar than you are (from a non BP friend). (What, is this a competition here?!?!) "Hearing about your problem stresses me out, because I am used to fixing things for people and I can't fix you.") (God Complex + Debbie Downer = No Bueno. Just sayin'  )

I used to have a pdoc who always said "Just Do It". I thought she was trying to sell me Nike sportwear. Needless to say I have a new pdoc now.

1. Bi polar, is that something to do with the Antarctic?
2. I think I may have that 3. Should you be telling people that you are BP? 4. Can you become violent? (Only when I'm asked stupid questions) |

My Mom asks most of the annoying questions.
Are you taking your medicine? Why can't you lose weight on your meds? I can understand why your husband is mad - you just got out of a mental hospital. All I ever wanted was for you to be happy

"Every adult struggles with focusing their attention."-ex-therapist
"You're catastrophizing."-same therapist, after I told her about my worries of becoming homeless or going to hell. "I have ups and downs too. I don't think it's an illness."-my mom, after I was first diagnosed "I think that's how many Christians become born-again. You're pretty normal."-my friend, after I told him about some religious delusions I had years ago Good thread! I wish there was a way to make people understand...

"Did you take your meds today?"
"Don't get so down on yourself." "Everybody has a bit of bipolar." "What are you, crazy or something?" "It's not your fault you're crazy." "You can control your moods. You just have to try harder." "Just eat healthy and exercise---you'll be fine." "You're acting funny. Are you off your meds?" "Why do you need so many pills?"

"You can't be bipolar. I've never seen you suicidal." (Oh yes he had! I'm just not one to talk about it. The dangerous kind, yeah.)
"Everyone's bipolar." "Just control yourself!" "I always knew you were crazy." "But the sun is shining!" The first 2 were in the same night from 2 different people I truly thought would be understanding. I rarely trust enough to disclose. 3, 4 and 5 were from the ex. The sunshine one was just plain bizarre. Good guy, he just totally didn't get it. |

21. Do you think that maybe after reading all about psychology you're thinking you have something you don't?
22. Are you sure you're Bipolar? 23. Sometimes, you just need to snap out of it and relax!

1. "I guess everybody is a little bit Bipolar"
2. anytime you say you feel weird or off they say "why?" or "what happened?" and you wanna say because I have a mental illness duh 3. "I just think you could be using more of your skills" (like cbt etc) 4. "What is wrong with you?" 5. "Did you have to snap at me?" 6. "I am so afraid for you." 7. "Bipolar is trendy right now" 8. "So how do you know you're really Bipolar" (like i want to open those tales with everyone) 9. "I don't know why we have to have these labels? Aren't some people just moody and artistic." 10. "Have you tried yoga?" 11. "Have you tried meditation?" 12. "Have you tried acupuncture?" etc etc etc 13. "I just wouldn't want to put those drugs in my body" 14. "You're strong enough to handle this without meds. I know you can do it." 15. "No I do not want to be a part of your suicide safety plan" just a few off the top |
