I am so sick of being told to "stop doing it" "your acting crazy" and just having my spontaneous ideas laughed off. Why doesn't anyone take it serious. I always respond defensively. It isn't so easy...you don't know how it feels. One minute I am excited about something little like going to get ice cream and the next moment I feel alone and angry like no one cares and want to run away to somewhere sunny and fun. Can anyone relate? It is such a roller coaster...I feel like I am going crazy.

Its hard to accept but its ignorance, as in they aren't educated regarding mental illness. They don't understand and you can't make them understand because they don't live it. Depression or mania, they have no reference point.
Educate those who are willing and realize that no one is within your control. You cant control their actions but you can try to control your reaction. If you accept that they really don't understand, it becomes much less stressful for you. And no, I can't always do that and sometimes I just get pissed off. Just let it go. ( Now I'm doing it ;) )
oooo what a horrible thing to say. I am glad they are supportive now though. My parents used to tell me...if you think life's hard now wait till you get in the real world. Then they would tell me to run away so i get a taste of what life really is like. They wanted me to run away. I have a hard time communicating what i need from those I love sometimes.
