I think people just assume that when we are upset, irritable, sad or joyus thatit is because of the bipolar, and then they get to ignore the real problem. I just had a dentist refuse to stop and let me talk to him. I guess he thought I didn't get to have a sya in my treatment. When I got justifiably mad, he wet to talk to the guy who gave me a ride there, instead of talking to me! I can't imagine he would treat any of his "normal" patients that way. I felt assaulted! Anyone had experiences like that when your real emotions were belittled because of your bipolar?

I have had coworkers in the past say stupid things when i got frustrated at work. "Calm down man, what are you, bipolar or something?" I hate that kind of judgement, even tho I am bipolar. But that was me frustrated at work stupidity, not a bipolar episode.

I have a relative who will always blame it on the bipolar if I disagree with her or say something she doesn't like. Then she'll say I'M blaming bipolar for my "behavior". I can't win with her. Needless to say I don't spend a lot of time with her. She makes me crazy!

Yes, all the time.
If I feel differently about a situation - it's because I have bipolar. If I react differently to others - it's because I have bipolar. If I'm offended - it's because I have bipolar. No-one considers to think that actually, that might be my true feeling on the subject. No, it's alllllll bipolar. Don't listen to anything I say because I'm crazy, so my views are invalid.

The little things I do are always dismissed as bipolar. The little mood changes. But the big mood episodes seem to be judged as something I should control better. I always have to say the big manias and the low depressions are just managed, not cured by meds.
So, yep, I feel misunderstood. |
