Hmm...well, I don't tell people I am, it really doesn't matter, if they ask I will, its not a big deal, Iunno. If they ask, I will tell them, and if they have a problem with it they can suck it, they asked in the first place anyway.
>;-p
*edit*
by people, I mean non shrink types, like friends and fam

I have the sweetest Boy Friend EVER! We've been dating for two years, and when I told him I was Bi Polar, the next day he came to school armed all sorts of crap from online about it... (So sweet) He is really the only one that helps me, when I get manic he just talks, about a game he's been playing or something random and I'll just calm down. And he doesn't even call it Manic, he says that I'm simply hysterical. I know it sounds sexist, but he's just trying to make me laugh, he'll grab my hands and say "Rave, you're being a hysterical woman again, how are we suposed to get along if you won't be decent?" There's just so much I want to say to him about how wrong that is I forget why I was Angry in the first place...
My only problem is that sometimes I won't remember a certain eisopde after a cycle, he will mention something that happened, but I will have absolutly no memory of it... God that scares the s**t outta me.
My mom is really great about it too, I could yell at her for hours, pass out from exhustion, and then I'll wake up the next morning and she'll just say "okay, don't forget your meds." Just like that, it's over and forgiven, maybe even a hug if she was really worried about me. She doesn't like That my boy friend can calm me so fast and she just makes it worse... I've heard her crying to my step-dad at night that she's afraid I'm forgetting about her and growing up with her and such. I always want to run in there and hug her and tell her he just isn't as sick of it as she is... but I know if I do my step-dad will feel pushed aside, and the cycle starts again (different cycle, social cycle).
I'm sorry I rant so much, I've never really had a place to talk about this before... I was diaignosed when I was 10, and now 8 years later I can finally come to grips with the fact that I am sick.

It's been hard through the years with my husband. We've been married for three, but I've known him for six. Before I was diagnosed (only being recently and currently being medicated) I didn't know what was wrong. The mood swings were rediculous and he'd get really frustrated with me. To the point where he couldn't stand being around me. Now that we know and understand what I've got, having done a lot of research on it, it's made things better between us. He's seen the worst of me, and the best of me, and now he'll see a happier me. He's been great, extremely understanding and sooo forgiving.
As for my ex boyfriends that I had BEFORE I knew my husband. That's what you suckers get! Jokes on you bub for cheating on me.
Cheating on Charla = manic episodes
(Sorry about your door man. xd ...no, not really)
My mother (my father died 2 years ago) understands completely, as she has BP and her four sisters all have it. o.< As well as anxiety/panic disorder. I am the only one with OCD and anxiety/panic and BP. >.< How annoying is that? It took my mom a long time to get used to my panicky self, worrying all the time and constantly checking the front door and the windows to make sure they're locked....repeatedly. My dad bought me a worry stone because I worried so much. He was a sweet man.
All in all, everyone 'cept most people on my dads side of the family are accepting and understanding.
"What? Did you really think I did all of this to myself??"
I feel shunned by them, which is why most of them don't know.

Well, I haven't lost any friends or boyfriends over my bipolar, but I have had problems. I don't really think my friends totally understand it. They don't get that it is possible for me to suddenly be really depressed when I was laughing my a** off two minutes before. When I do get really depressed for no apparant reason, they keep asking my what's wrong, and even though I keep telling them nothing is wrong, I'm fine, they continue to pester me.
My boyfriend understands that I can go from one emotion to the next really quickly, but he still gets really angry when I won't tell him what's wrong. He knows why I get sad or angry or happy for no apparant reason, but I think it still bothers. I think my bipolar is probably the reason we fight so much-- because my emotions are insane.

My mom didn't act too kindly towards my diagnoses...she made it worse.
As far as boyfriends go.. I've actually driven a couple away 'cause they couldn't handle me. So I'm staying single till I recooperate. smile

I lost a great deal of relationships for being and acting bipolar. I have just begun to pick my pieces up again. my relationship with my mom is great now. and as far as dating goes, I cannot commit to trust and sometimes feel very alone. But I am comfortable with that and enjoy the time I have. I have a huge support network of friends that I feel grateful for. I am only hoping the future will be better.

My best friend kinda hates me for having mood swings.
My parents give out to me for being moody.
So does my brother.
I don' go out with people because I'll get sick of them after a week.

h3rsh3y MediocreMaiden06 I don't get along that great with, well, anyone. I think i kind of scare them away sad I know what you mean. I tend to get along with people online better, because they don't see me spaz. Yeahbut if we met, and you spazzed, I'd still get along with you all the same. You'd prolly see me spaz too.
