What are things that people do which you hate the most?
What are things that people do which you like the most?

Do the answers to these questions depend on which mood you're in?

--------------------------

When I'm depressed, I absolutely HATE when people tell me "you'll get over it". However, I do like when people say, "I'm sorry you're going through this. If you need me, I'm here." It shows they care and want to help.

When I'm manic, I HATE when people accidentally get in my way and bog me down. I'm going a million miles per hour and I can't be bothered with silly things! However, I do like it when people engage in my happiness with me! For instance, if I'm going on a shopping spree, it's totally cool if you join me. I mean, it's obviously not good to encourage me, but hey, I'm manic.

I like that ppl check in, be nice/funny. Do little gestures. I hate ppl chewing.

Ohh. Loud chewing, like with your mouth open? That irritates the hell out of me. My dad does it really badly, and it's so bad that I can't stand eating a meal with him. I literally have to leave the room. It grosses me out

When depressed, I hate when people take my need to isolate, as a personal rejection.
When depressed, I like when people give me space, but still check in on me occasionally.

When manic, I hate when people argue against my delusions.
When manic, I like when people listen to my paranoia's and say "that must be very difficult for you"

I hate Pollyannas when I'm depressed.....I don't like them anytime but hate them when I'm depressed.
I like people who don't expect me to BE happy, it's enough that I participated.

I hate people who rain on my parade when I'm hyper.....gosh darn it I am too gonna save the world from itself.
I love people who are just willing to listen to me expound the many ways I'm superior, and don't get Judgy later.

I like it when people make the effort to listen without judgment and just be there to help me process what I am feeling and what I can do about it. I hate it when I try to reach out and people start telling me how bad their life is, but they don't have to take time off from work or be on medication. Like it's some sort of contest and they need to feel superior.

I like it when someone makes the time and effort to learn a little about what I am going through, even though they may not understand.

One time when I was really depressed and in tears, a family member said "better you than me." That hurt.

Otherwise, if I'm in an elevated mood I do whatever I want within reason. I've done the scorched earth mania, got the tshirt. Now I just do things that feel good and don't cause problems. There's no one monitoring my behavior, really. I don't like being bossed around if my mood is elevated so that works out just fine!

If I'm in a mixed episode, I'm best off with a loved one checking on me but otherwise leaving me alone while I work through it.

hate when people think me isolating is a sense of personal rejection or is causing me to keep being depressed. hate when family members and friends ignore and or feel sorry for me just cause I am in an episode. love when people are just there to support and listen not judge even when I am up or down.

My husband and close friends take way too many precautions.
My iPhone was broken and I was relaxing at HB house.
Then I got a bad headache and didn't feel like driving back to Long Beach. No biggie right?
Well, before phone refused to charge I had actually texted my friend. She texted back and when I didn't respond right away she called my neighbors, emled my husband and even called the police.
They knocked on my door. Said it was a wellness call.
I didn't feel loved or cared about. Told cop I just had a headache.
Then when I got to other house a million messages on machine. Neighbors have my spare key and went in. Later said,"oh,forgot you may be at other house .".
Husband all worried. Tons of emls.
Boy. Leave me alone.
I'm glad to be back on my ranch in Costa Rica.

-When manic, I hate when people tell me to calm down or insult my behavior. I hate when they raise their voice towards me or are sarcastic...it definitely triggers me. I like it when people are patient with me and don't treat me like I'm crazy.

-When hypomanic, I like when people are flirtatious towards me or give me positive attention. I also like when people think my ideas are great, and they are willing to follow through with my crazy ideas/plans. I hate when people ignore me or are unwilling to do what I want to do.

-When depressed, I like when people are willing to listen and tell me they are there for me. I don't like when people tell me I have no reason to be depressed or say, "Well, what do you want me to do about it?"
