You are cool, and don’t forget that bipolar is only part of you!!! Thanks for the follow!
Hey thanks Dyane:)! Bipolar is only a part of me that I have found others can’t accept! Unfortunately, it is easier not to tell people than it is to tell people that I am bipolar, if u know what I mean. I have accepted my fate but I in know my heart that people in general don’t want to have anything to do with any part of a person with bipolar. I am living proof. It’s a not a joke. I sometimes feel that I am constantly trying to prove that I am normal. It doesn’t matter how much I try because the stigma of the label remains. I appreciate your kind words:)!
I know exactly what you mean. The other day I met a a new neighbor. She shared with me first that she has a son with autism and bipolar. Then I told her, “I also have bipolar.” & I swear to God, I felt the energy shift. It could be my imagination but I felt judgement in the air. Again, I could be paranoid, but I’m a very intuitive Pisces!
I too feel like I constantly need to act/prove I’m normal, which I CAN’T STAND. It drains me. And I just realized (thanks to you!) that’s a big reason why I’m anti-social/have social anxiety.
It sucks that many people treat us like we have plague. But seriously….there are some people who don’t – I hope that you will find some of those people to help you feel supported in your life. And loved and accepted for who you are, included BP. You are right – the stigma is very much around despite all the feel-good P.R. Hang in there. I’ll keep reading your blog – let us readers know how it goes and good for you for writing! I’m impressed!
(((hugs)))!

Nicely written! I agree wholeheartedly that your intuition is warranted! I can read emotions very well also and I don’t think it’s “all in my head!” It’s difficult for me to block the negative energy that I clearly get from others. Sometimes I will throw a crazy contorted stare at someone so I can validate their preconceived notions about me! It can be comical in a sense, lol:)! I don’t try as hard to put myself out there anymore! The multiple rejections is not helping my psyche!
Keep spreading your positive energy and thanks again:)!!
