describing the weather as, "bipolar"

I find it kind of funny because here in SE US, it defiantly is like me.

I wouldn't mind if it were "downgraded", because now some people think I can't possibly be a manic-depressive because that is such a terrible, awful thing, I mean, I am crazy but not like that: your psychosis and depression is just incidental, irresponsible behaviour, your delusions probably just stubbornness, arrogance, self-importance and fear for responsibility and people that tell you the truth, that you can't explain your laziness, stubbornness, frustration and your occasional melodrama is just learned behaviour, you are just a lazy attention-seeker who feigns a terrible illness which makes you think you should be treated differently from others. Am I really to believe that? You disgust me.

And if I dare to mention schizoaffective disorder, how do I live with myself: you aren't schizophrenic! Sickening. What has gotten into you? Don't turn into your mother, who feigns emotional and physical pain while being always involved in activities. How can one be severely ill and be so active? You utterly disgust me.

Your sister sees a professional? I didn't know that.

I'd love it if people wouldn't know how challenging, mentally painful, it is. They will probably never truly understand anyway, but at least it could be discussed and accepted/tolerated. Now it's almost taboo, maybe that's why it's used so frivolously, carelessly. Devoid from meaning, by using it in different contexts, it becomes harmless. Like EMDR, desentisation.
