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.
So I have this friend I have known for awhile but she hasn't really known me the whole bipolar shit n all..So now she knows..details not really
she notices I worry a lot and carry meds with me she makes comments to my other friend like shes a druggie(oh cuz i wanna take these) and omg meag you worrie about everything and laughed..I told me not funny it sucks I try to not let anxiety bug me and i go threw day to day without showing a lot of people unless you become a good friend..
I think this friend does it out of nervousness of not knowing how to handle the situation ..but this is the second time she has done that to me..I really don't think she realizes how much it hurts..yes i tell her but in my bitch attitude way so maybe she doesn't get it hurts.
my other friend who she comments to most the time or is with us..she sees it hurts me..(the other friend who dose say anything rude)her mum is bipolar so she understand..and after the pill comment today she told me that she is aware that I dont want these pill but need them for now and maybe in time it will be lowed more but most likely never gone..
I just want to know what ya'll think
I mean what else can i say..this is the first time since i started meds that someone has reallly hurt me(other then family) in this matter..and shit it hurts like a punch to my tummy..

a stomach pill or something
If I was in that situation, I would ask to speak with the person privately and simply tell them that you find those kinds of remarks hurtful and ask them straight out, if they will refrain from doing it anymore.
Now a lot of times, what you will get back is defensiveness. "I didn't mean anything by it." or something on that order.
That's fine. But it's not the point. So if they DID say something like that to me, I'd repeat my request that they not do it any more and say, "So will you not do it anymore?"
It would take a real jerk to refuse your request. And should they prove to BE that much of a jerk, strongly consider cutting them out of your life as much as possible. You don't need to open yourself up to feeling like you've been kicked in the stomach!!!
I'm sorry that you are going through this. I hope it stops!!! (((((Hugs)))))
I thought about pulling her aside and if it happens again i will( i cant say oh two days ago u said sumthing that hurt me bet she wont remember it. as its not a big thing to her just a remark)
as I said i think she honestly has no idea thats she hurting me so bad and I really think she doesn't understand how to deal with it.
im sure to many its scary..I mean she has known me since 14 and im 22 now we r just becoming good friends to the point she can see my weak spot..so she mite be abit freaked out that this girl she known for 8 yrs has had all this going on in her head but she never knew a thing..I dont no i really hope she understands and stops as i would hate to cut her out of my life on the simple fact she doesn't understand..Thanks ya'll really helped make me think that i was rite in my first thought to pull her aside
