They’re not monsters, they’re not “out of control”, they’re people. These misconceptions are big problem that surround people with psychotic disorders.

Be kind, be understanding. Stop spreading misinformations.

Bipolar disorder is fucking horrible it’s not just “oh I’m happy one minute I’m angry the next!” it’s literally hell let me tell you some shit:

Bipolar is getting excited and going on manic shopping sprees only to then regret everything you’ve purchased, and now you’ve lost interest in everything you’ve bought

Bipolar is suddenly crying for no reason, and when people ask you what’s wrong, your lack of understanding only makes things worse

Bipolar is suddenly becoming very passionate about a project, idea, or even person and then spending a long period of time obsessing over it only to suddenly lose interest

Bipolar is a messy bedroom cluttered unfinished projects and guilt

Bipolar is accidentally becoming too emotional around friends or loved ones and scaring them, pushing them away when all you wanted was to bring them closer

Bipolar is not having any set group of close friends, due to the paranoia of them talking behind your back about your episodes

Bipolar is lying on the cold bathroom floor in a friend’s house or unfamiliar place trying to calm down because you’re too afraid to have an episode in front of other people

Bipolar is being afraid to show your emotions because you know if you open up to someone, you might start crying or panicking

Bipolar is making too many promises during your manic states that can’t be delivered when you’re down and depressed, leaving many to think you’re “flaky”

Bipolar is not knowing if you’re reacting appropriately or overreacting to a situation because you’ve never had a “normal” emotional scale

Bipolar is having no one taking your disorder seriously, including your parents, who may or may not still think you’re just experiencing mood swings
