I hate the fact that I could be with my family or friends having a good time like nothing was wrong and then all of the sudden be by myself because my mood switched so they left me.

One of biggest things I hate about being bipolar, is the way some people treat me differently. I find that when someone finds out that I am bipolar they are either very caring and compassionate OR they think I suddenly am completely stupid (even though I am the same person they knew yesterday and thought of as smart). I guess what I'm trying to say, is I really hate it when people associate any type of mental illness with being unintelligent. That is so unfair. Some great minds of the past century suffered from bipolar.

I'm pretty boxed in on my meds. Not to high not to low, no head racing or lack of sleep. I guess if it continues I should be ok. There is a slight feeling of numbness but I'll take over what was happening to me before. I would have been dead or in jail.

I hate it when I just pop off at everyone and get very insulted and take everything personally. It ruins everything for everyone around me and I don't even know when I'm doing it because I always feel so justified at the time. Horrible!

suddenly feeling sad, blue, depressed, seemingly out of nowhere

Most of the meds I have been on ,make me feel like they are killing my body,destroying my cells,and weakening me.

The Bipolar ,it's self...makes me feel like I am unable to cope with feeling sick,and maakes me consider suicide to get out of the whole mess.

Wow! I can relate to most everything here, and I hate it all! aunt- I have had that same "back to work" convo with my pdoc for 2 yrs now...

Being so depressed I can find no reason to live. Debilitation is so bad, can barely brush my teeth. Suicidal rumination and attemtps.

I know what your therapist is talking about. I too start to think eureka! I'm normal again. Then the therapist reminds me that I haven't been able to hold a job for more than 6 months or less in 7 years and I can't loose my SSI. It makes me feel so useless. So different from normal people and the thought that this is my life forever and ever is very depressing to me. I always think when I'm feeling well that the mania and depression will not come back. It always does, and from what I hear it always will. Bummer.

I hate the periods of numbness and I never know when they're coming. I grow so cold and nothing seems able to warm me up and my brain just stops. My typing, which on a really good day runs at about 80 wpm, drops to maybe as low as 10 wpm -- and doesn't make sense, either!!! LOL!!! I can't even sit up straight.
Once I was catatonic for a couple of hours, which was very strange and would probably have been very frightening -- had I been able to give a shit! LOLOL!!!!!!

I hate it when I am starting to feel stable then all of the suddene, out of nowhere my mood goes sour . It's like my mood swings are so out of my realm of control.

I hate the loneliness. I've dated and within a couple of dates, a conversation goes awry that I am not even aware of and they end up thinking I am crazy because I am "all over the place" and it scares them away. I feel as if I will live alone forever and the dread of that makes me want to die.
