I’m talking to a guy and trying to be upfront with being bipolar. I was in psychosis during the spring which totally rocked my world in a bad way. I’m now pretty recovered from that episode and take meds daily. It just irritates me to hear from people who try to be nice when they say that I don’t need my meds. 

I tried explaining generally that what happened during psychosis is exactly why I have to take them. But it just feels like I need to accept that some people are going to be distrustful of pharma - just like I was. 

I was distrustful until I went off my meds and right into psychosis. 

But I guess it’s best if no one ever gets to know the manic side to my personality. 

Does it piss you off when people basically belittle your disorder or do you just shrug and let it go because what are you gonna do? Show them and give them a reason why you need to be medicated? No thank you 

Maybe it’s best if I just save all my bipolar and processing of psychosis for my therapist and relieve people of the pressure to contribute to a topic that they don’t understand. Seems unfair to others.
