I was diagnosed a few days ago and finally told my family about it. I was thinking that opening up to then might make me feel better but apparently its the opposite. A few days ago I told my mom that I wasn’t feeling good and why was i the only one who had bipolar in my family. She and my elder brother shrugged it off by saying its just in my head and i should try to focus on something else and meditate. For the past few days I’m on a purchasing spree and ik its because of the manic episode. I explained this to my brother and mom today but they got offended and started saying that i don’t have the will and I overthink a lot. My brother told me that I shouldn’t add every single behaviour of mine to bipolar then i told him its better to end the conversation but he replied back harshly saying “so what else do you want. Should we accept everything you say or do and let things go as it is?” I clearly know he meant that i was doing these things deliberately. After this conversation i went out. Now i feel angry and sad because it was better if I hadn’t told my family about my condition.
