Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I live with my 22 yr old son and his grandma. They are very toxic people. Grandma triggered me a couple of days ago and went into a powerful depression spell. One thing I do during these is cry a lot. I can't help it.
My son kept yelling at me about stuff and got irritated when started to cry. Later Grandma said it's my fault I ruined my life going around boo hoo hop. Feel sorry for me. I asked, "How do I stop?" She replied. "Just don't do it."
How do you deal with toxic people. I can say much to grandma because she'll try to throw me out.
Maybe it's all my fault and just a crappy human. Maybe it's time to end my life.

Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared.

I did a quick google search for “virtual support groups” and there are soooo many places to try. We don’t have chat or video hangouts here for a more in-person types of support but maybe that would help to connect with even more people facing some of the same scenarios you are.
Big hugs your way. Stay strong.
Deep breaths.... This has happened to me in the past as well where the tears won't stop and I can't make them
I hope today is a little brighter.... xo
Sadly many do not understand emotions or how to be empathetic...I think we all have had a wound or two inflicted by others who just don't "get it."
Your work is to recognize that you have an illness...being told not to cry is similar to telling someone with a broken leg to run, it's not possible.
You can't move but you can protect yourself from the toxicity by developing healthy boundaries...the internet is filled with ways to "Google" healthy boundaries and find ways to keep yourself safe around toxic folks...
In the mean time find ways to be kind to yourself...(((hugs))) none of this is easy.
