Here is the self doubt happening. 3 months ago when I was diagnose with bipolar I was at a family lunch. My brother afterwards messaged about my behaviour. The word he used to describe it was asinine. I was absolutely gutted and hurt. I have not heard from him in 3 months, my mum just rang and said but he is concern. I'm so angry and hurt. What I'm supposed to say oh that's really nice he's concerned? I've been hurt by this I can't just forget it.

I've attached a definition of asinine.

Does he know your bipolar?

Of course you can't forget it, because it's never been resolved. Your brother has neither spoken to you nor apologized for going off on you like that. If I were your mother I'd be after him for treating you that way.

Yes buzz bee he knew, but according to my mum has just research it. Oh and now funny he's starting to understand! I guess hurts even more because I was the first person round him and his wife's at a drop of a hat, I never expect anything in return, I get a kick out helping people. But that horrible word he used I'll never get that out of my head. I read it over and over. Oh and I'm not allowed at my parents house cause apparently i "stress" my dad out and he can't handle it. While on a roil my boyfriend has decided it's all to hard. He says I've told you to try harder, I can't handle this punishment anymore. Well yep right now I'm on top of the world!! Not

Thank you BipolaRNurse the position is vacant. My mums response, people just don't get mental health. I said but mum he's my brother he could just have google it. I said I don't care if people don't get he's my brother FFS. Even with an apology I've struggled really really badly the last 3 months where was he?
