What should I do if my family think I just acting bad?
Since I have bipolar, things has been hard for me. I have a hard time studying, been lazy, and depressed. I hate going outside. I lost my job. I will be looking for one though. My parents constantly tell me you don't want to do anything, you don't appreciate us, and what is your problem. I told them I have bipolar but they say you have never told me that. They don't believe when I tell I have bipolar. Now my entire family is going to verbally attack me and say why I am causing trouble. My brother just called and asked why am I causing problems and my parents are complaining. I don't feel like staying home now.

See if they will go to a doctors appointment with you, or read information you give them. Maybe start with your brother and then see if he'll help you talk to your parents.
A great online resource is NAMI. http://www.nami.org. It's the National Alliance of Mental Illness.
I am fine because I lost the ones that represent the cast of the Jerry Springer.
