Doesnt It Irritate U When....... Posted: 12-29-06 22:59pm
Does it bug any of you with bipolar when
ppl make judgements before they even know
you? I mean I feel the majority of us are
pretty normal.

There is a bit of stereotyping on bipolar
disorders. The first thing that comes to
ones mind when the word is mentioned is
psycho. I am dating a gentlemen that was
diagnosed as being bipolar. We have had
our ups and downs but then again in what
relationships is there never any ups and
downs. It does take a great deal of
strength on the down days but it also
takes compation and understanding. Again
in what relationship is there out there
that you do not provide compation,
understanding and strength. Really,
bipolar disorder has rough spots and if
you really understand the person and know
the person they are just like anyother
normal person with just a few quirks that
you have to observe and help eachother get
past. Again don't we all have our own
little quirks that people don't
understand?

I totally agree with you. Ppl get the
wrong idea of what bipolar is because they
dont really know much about it. I mean
sometimes ppl with bipolar had issues in
the past that can make the bipolar seem
worse than what it really is. I have had
issues in my past, but I have managed to
keep my bipolar moods under control. And
I am not saying that bipolar ppl cant have
their bad days, but who doesnt get bad
days?

You know, I may not be bipolar but I have
a good friend of mine that is and I have
my share of medical problems and this
friend of mine is a sweet person, no one
has the right to judge you, they are not
perfect, no one is perfect, you are not
psycho and who doesn't have their bad
days! I agree, alot of people do not
understand what being bipolar is and just
like me some do get tired of taking their
meds even though we know we need to. I do
wish you the best because I do understand!

You know what makes me very angry:
insurance. My husband has never been a
high risk to himself or other people but
since he has the label, he couldn't get
health insurance when he was without a
job. We didn't qualify for free
insurance...Go figure. They lumped him in
a category and refuse to look at it case
by case basis. It stinks.

I usually don't tell anyone about my
bipolar unless someone is asking me.
People are so judgemental, it is just
human nature. What people don't realize
is that they are not perfect either, so
they have something wrong with them too!
Bipolar disorder typically emerges in late
adolescence or early adulthood but in some
cases begins earlier. Episodes of
depression and mania flare up across the
life course, often disrupting work,
school, family, and social life.
Forget about deciphering medical terms -
when you're sick you want understandable
answers now!
Know someone suffering with bipolar
disorder? If so, pay close attention!
There's finally an innovative new book
created just for people like you!
It's like having your very own bipolar
disorder expert that you can reference and
ask questions anytime you need to!
Don’t suffer away in silence get the
information and start yourself on
recovery. Visit www.Thebipolardisorder.Com

good luck and all the best.

Bipolar disorder is a very unusual
condition. Do most people know that very
intellegent and amazing people have been
bipolar?
