Has anyone ever seen ER? I watched it years ago but I'm currently rewatching it on Amazon. Sally Field plays bipolar in a number of episodes. I'm looking at her like she is legit insane and asked my girlfriend jokingly "I don't act like that right". She got all serious and said "when you are not taking your meds, you do". Does anyone not realize how crazy they really act until others tell them?

I don't think I realize it. My husband will tell me things later which make me really wonder about my memory.

Lol to the media and Bipolar portrayal sometimes *I'm scratching my head*

But as for the part - "Does anyone not realize how crazy they really act until others tell them?"

Haha.

Yes.

Yep. I get blackouts during my manic episodes where I won't remember whole chunks of time. Then someone will fill me in and I have no choice but to believe them.
