I hate how much misinformation there is about bipolarism. I once opened up about my bipolar disorder with a friend of mine, explaining how my episodes worked, "warning her " since i wasn't medicated yet, she replies saying things like "we're all bipolar," "I haven't eaten for a day whole, then I'm bipolar "and other shit like that. it wasn't the first time thing’s like this happened to me, I was dating with a guy and when I opened up to him about my bipolar he started wondering if he could be bipolar since he was a bit lunatic. and don’t get me started about people who fake being bipolar or treat bipolar disorder like it is just an emotion. hate how people are so uninformed about this mental illness, being bipolar isn’t just having mood swings.
