Really wondering..

Has anyone else’s significant other try to say your bipolar , it’s like they don’t understand the anxiety and they just attack you and say your bipolar .. or am I the only one ? Makes me feel crazy honestly I don’t even know how to feel.

Hello, the most important thing is that your significant other is understanding and supportive. Its bad enough we think we are crazy but we are not. We have no control over how our bodies act. Its frustrating enough for us to feel this way cause we dont want to go through this.

I just feel like people are so judgmental. It’s hard enough that I can’t control my emotions sometimes

I have had my s.o. tell me I am crazy and they use the diagnosis bi-polar losely. It makes me upset because I had an aunt that was Bi-Polar so i stopped her and explained to her not to use it so loosely. I told her how people feel and since then I do not hear those terms anymore to explain someone’s or my moodiness

No you're not alone. My husband tries to be there for me but he just doesn't understand. He always says just stop thinking about it, it's that simple. I just shake my head and walk away. People who aren't or haven't gone through it...just don't get it. However, he has been coming around lately ever since I made him do research about anxiety and ocd with me. It opened his eyes a lot. Don't know if that will help you, but it's worth a shot.

I will try to express my feelings maybe , it’s just hard . I feel everyone goes through different things , or our past isn’t the same so we can’t really relate . Or honestly I’m not even sure if he’ll take the time to look these things up ya know
