I was having a conversation with my boss today. Usually a really nice person, haven't had any real issues so far. They don't know about me having bipolar disorder, just that I have anxiety. The conversation was about disabilities and suddenly they said: those with bipolar are the worst, they can flip suddenly and sometimes they disappear and return all messed up. Really difficult to deal with that, specially when they decide that they don't need medication.

I won't lie, I felt this sadness welled up inside of me. I'm proud of myself for keeping a straight face, but as soon as I went back to my office I almost cried. The worst thing is that I'm not even mad, I've been through all of that and I caused a lot of pain to those who know me, it's just sad hearing it being said like that.

I just needed to get it off my chest.
