1.Ask me why i never finish nothing i start e.g driving lessons
2.Remind me of things i dont have eg friends a house ect
3This is my worst 1 , being told to get more structure like a job but when youre at work and people are judgey and think im nuts.
4.Being told im not bipolar , mainly because people think of the delusional side of things.
5.Being told to get up and move and do this do that agggh(this anoys me when im depressed not so much when im manic) Anyway all of these things were not done by my mother just felt this could be a good vent .Feel free to make a list

[Skitz13]

Things I hate...

1. We all get a little moody
2. Get out there and work, you'll feel better
3. I don't understand what your problem is
4. Are you sure you're not a little manic
5. Have you been taking your meds
6. You need to get out of the house, make some friends and have some fun and you'll be fine

People just don't get it, but how could they

[Silent Void]

1. Unnecessary drama
2. People touching me, especially by accident in the grocery line
3. Nosy people like my neighbors
4. The volume of people I have to deal with when I go out in public
5. Loud noises

[tealBumblebee]

Thanks for the list! Lol.

1. People who call me and you know they are calling just to ask for something.
2. Being treated like i'm a baby, incapable of being alone, driving alone, being out at night, etc.
3. When people blame my bad decisions on others influence because apparently I don't have a brain or the capacity to make any kind of bad decision on my own.
4. When I've spent a good amount of time with the family and the moment I try to leave they tell me to stop being "antisocial" or "anti-family" because I want space.
5. When people have a problem with my friend choice - except it's every single friend and for dumb reasons that have nothing to do with anything ('clique mentality' aka because someone else doesn't like them, because they're fat, because they don't come from a good family, etc.)

[Standup2me]

1. Too much noise
2. People standing too closely to me
3. Being told : You don't have to take all of those meds, just go to the gym more often (yes, I have actually been told this:
4. Being told: You are not BP, you are just lazy
5. Being told: Depression is just a trick of your mind, just don't think about it and it will go away

Seriously, everyone thinks they are a ****ing doctor.

[BipolaRNurse]

1) Repetitive and/or loud noises
2) Being asked if I took my meds
3) Being in a crowded place
4) Screaming kids
5) Getting accused of being in a mood episode whenever I show some sort of negative emotion

[TheatreKid]

I only have three right now:

1) In the middle of an episode, people like to tell me "Oh I can't even tell!" And I've had hospital doctors and random pharmacists know I'm manic just looking at me, so these people either are lying because they think it will make me feel better, or I'm some special brand of manic that only doctors can see.

2) People referring to bipolar as BPD, because they are two different things and I don't want people to think I have BPD because I don't. Even on this forum I want to throw my computer out the window when it happens but I know usually this is just because they are misinformed so I'm usually able to keep myself from hulking out.

3) People who say "I wish I was manic" or "I wish I had your problem." People used to say it all the time when I was suffering with anorexia. YOU DO NOT WANT MY PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO DIE. You obviously don't know how extremely painful it is, how miserable I am. I get livid when I hear this.

That's okay ...with number two..I gave a full time job that on most days I can handle well and I can say it honestly helps...but my family actually insults my job and wants me to get a better job!

My dad said to me a couple of weeks ago that we all have depressive moments and suicidal thoughts at times...which is true just not as frequently or in most cases not as severe- the sad thing is this stemmed from me simply saying I joined a bipolar support group when he asked where I was going..smh ...I have accepted my diagnoses, but he won't.

1. not being taken seriously
2. being taken too seriously
3. people who think mental illness is "cool" and "fun" and/or "mysterious"
4. the monotany of daily things. ie: cooking hygene housework
5. money. hate spending it. hate needing it. hate making it. i just want the stuff it buys without the whole money exchange thing.

[muller1209]

1 people standing way to close to me out in public.
2 people eating without maners
3 loud noise
4 being told i am lying when in fact i am not
5 my current anxitey and paranoia.

[Creative1onder]

1.People not listening to me, having to repeat myself and ignoring me
2.People criticising me
3.People telling me what to do/how to be thinking they know best
4.People getting in my way, bumping into me, slowing me down, or jumping/cutting in front of me
5.Forgetting things

[Double Edge]

1) People repeating things. I can barely tolerate it when someone repeats something twice, but lose it after the third time, almost every time. I could barely control myself with customers when I used to work in an insurance call center for seven years. Usually resulted in a pen flying into my cubicle wall.

2) Repetitive tapping noises. My husband is infamous for constantly fidgeting with something, especially when we're trying to have a conversation. I try hard, but sometimes, that thing he's fidgeting with goes flying.

3) AM radio. Especially talking on AM radio. There's something about the pitch that immediately sets me off.

4) People standing too close to me in lines. BACK. UP.

5) People not turning right on red. Seriously.

These are the same things that bother me pretty much. My wife and kid do the repetitive noises in the car while I am driving just to see how long it takes for me to go off.

[alab]

1. feeling like my proc doesn't listed
2. trying to process this diagnosis at age 41
3. wondering if my whole life I have been crazy and not recognized it
4. second guessing myself
5. anxiety

Yes! This!

[venusss]

1. Stupid communists who keep forwarding emails about "truth about < fill in the blank >" taken from some stupid communist web. Or sharing it on FB. Over and over. And most arguments are reaching.
2. Same with extremely right wing people. Do you are need to post Moooslims be evilllll for the 150th time?
3. People thinking that working from home means being able to accomodate their every whim.
4. My family asking me about if I have a boyfriend as if it was the only value on the life.
5. the prices of the food in store. WHAT THE SERIOUS ****? Is the milk, butter and ham laced with gold and diamonds?
6. The fact that once again there is a war on my continent...

[loophole]

1. being late.
2. Nagging me about getting stuff done.
3. Big cities (traffic/people)
4. 2 or more conversations going on at once in the same room.. makes me go insane..
5. Bratty kids

Only 5?! It's so hard to narrow the field that much!
You all have hit on so many….To these five I especially relate….

It's not something I tend to actually hear (with one glaring exception), but even so much as perceiving incredulity (whether regarding honesty or exaggeration) exasperates me. Is being honest that abnormal?!

but I know usually this is just because they are misinformed so I'm usually able to keep myself from hulking out.

"Hulking out" lol. For me, it's seeing them lumped together, period. But it happens so much that -- for instance when it comes up with a medical provider when they see my meds --I find myself compelled to add, "Straight up BP. Not "code" for anything else they're tossing in with it these days." People come in with enough misconceptions as it is.

And the wildly popular…. loud noises. Particularly sudden loud noises. Guess who's got a ridiculously vigorous startle response?

[Trippin2.0]

1. Stupid people, wish they would stop breeding and become extinct already. Seriously, I can't stand willfull ignorance.

2. Helpless people, who would rather spend countless hours *****ing about the same monotonous bullshyt instead of lifting a finger to change it.

3. Senseless actions, turns my *****Ometer up from Creamy B!tch to Super B!tch in seconds... I'm pedantic about logic, its very valuable to me, its the reason I'm still alive.

4. People who refuse to lift their feet whenever they wear flip flops. Irrifruckingtating!

5. Shyyti "Music", which passes for talent and art these days is simply appalling.

eh, I know. I love music, but I don't even bother do download **** lately. Too much effort for nothing with what is being produced.

Hahah, totally forgot about flip flops…. they're way up there. Flip flops altogether. Can't deal with that sound!
Unpopular opinion. Sue me. Lol.

Tried having a pair. Too wiggy for walking. Couldn't *not* make that sound. Looked like a cat walking on wet grass.
Guess I'm just a shoe person all the way. Not even sneakers.

Here's one (because really, 5 is hard!)
The "music" when on hold on the phone. WTH?! In this day of super technology, they can't do better than some crap (that keeps cutting out, no less) coming out of a tin can? Really??? (Like being on hold isn't bad enough all by itself, right?)

[Love&Toil]

1. Being repeatedly called in all directions by my children. "MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!!!"
2. Going into debt.
3. Unexpected expenses with no emergency fund.
4. Critical people.

That's all for now.

1. daughter
2. daughter
3. daughter
4. daughter
5. husband

i only have 1 daughter

[darkestangel]

1. People assuming every emotion or opinion I have is irrational and just my bipolar talking.
2.being told to grow up. Im 36 yrs old. I choose to be the way I am.
3. People who make excessive noise when they eat. Drives me berserk.
4. People who judge my situation from the outside. Until youve walked around in my shoes you are in no position to judge my life.
5. Narrow mindedness. There is not one single right thing to believe, way to live or way to think.
