Devasted
Quote From: kapotiaYou have got to be kidding me! It is VERY clear that you are one of those people who don't really understand bipolar disorder and its manifestations and consequences. Imagine not being able to trust your own thoughts because you're not sure if you really feel that way or if its the bipolar disorder talking...imagine having so many amazing ideas and goals and not being able to put them into motion because you can't maintain focus on that one thought long enough to make it happen...then imagine feeling so helpless and hopeles that you don't even want to wake up anymore...it's too hard to face another day feeling like this...you don't want to feel this way anymore...
Trust me sweetheart, family and friends do not suffer more than the person with bipolar disorder...and if people like you could understand it, we wouldn't suffer as much. Bipolar has devasted my family and the kicker is my exhusband who is bipolar is in denial and can't even recognize the devastation he created by not taking medicine.....so in this case it's worse for the family who recognizes his professional diagnosis.....he still goes out spends my child support money, cheats, lies, steals, enjoys his highs, and is free to do whatever he wants while I hold down the family and try to figure out how to explain it all to a 10 and 9 year old......so while it's hard for those who recognize their illness, it's much harder for those who choose to ignore it and or go on and off their meds!!!!!!!
