This is the most upsetting and insulting questions I’m asked. My family knows I’m bipolar. I’ve done stupid shit while manic. It’s always a grand idea or massive life change and to me it makes perfect sense but to my family they are like…. They don’t always say anything. Sometimes my husband or mother in law (who I love as my own mother) will tell me to take the kids for a walk or do dishes or something to distract myself from obsessing over the “thing” of the moment. I understand and respect that. What I hate with my entire being is that BECAUSE I’m bipolar, when I do anything super productive, or have any big emotions or ideas, I’m asked if I’m taking meds. Because there is just NO WAY I can possibly act anything other than melancholy and go with the flow or I’m manic. Idk if that makes sense but I drives me fucking nuts.
