I have felt so unbearably alone with this mental illness. On thanksgiving my aunt told me she was bipolar 1 with psychotic features (as am I). No one thought to tell me when I was diagnosed that it ran in the family? I’ve had a million doctors ask me, and I always answered no. I started crying and had to excuse myself for awhile. I cried because of the relief that it’s not all in my head and because my parents didn’t understand why this is so important. Am I overreacting?
