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.
Maybe approaching her in a forthright manner and telling her that those types of jokes are painful and offensive to you and many others whose lives are touched by mental illness and asking her not to do it would have resulted in her not doing it anymore and your not defriending her.
She's probably right -- it wasn't 'personal'.
She may very well just be a big jerk!!
I hope she knows exactly why you defriended her.
And that it makes her rethink the appropriateness of posting things like that on Facebook.
And of the potential risk she's taking, too.
I'm sorry you've had to take this step but am glad you won't have to see any more of her so-called jokes.
I hope she apologizes to you and knocks off that kind of behavior.
Sorry you are having to deal with this. Good for you for standing up to her.
Ack!! I think I'd want to take a breather from all communication with her for a while!!!
Perhaps she is very jealous of you.
