[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724314, member: 1550"] Re, calling people bipolars...I felt the need to address it. I am not blaming OP. In this thread the bipolar meanness was unusually strong and, sorry, unjustified in my opinion. I really think it is the same as a racial slur. I almost always agree with you, but i think calling people by a diagnosis after explaining behavior that is heinous is not necessary. Maybe one needs to have a mental illness to understand. We are very discriminated against! I have risked slot to tell others here about my mental illness. I did not expect it throen in my face as if I am a leper to be avoided. It isnt like that. Mania is usually part psychosis. There is no indication these people in this thread were psychotic. Psychosis can indeed make somebody mean. But it doesnt continue after stabilization. If a new poster is frazzled , which I do understand, but said a racial slur, it would not be accepted. Nor in my opinion should something as hurtful as this go unaddressed. It is charactorizing everyone with alleged bipolar as horrible people that one needs to dump for sanity. Years ago, borderline was diagnosed as bipolar. Nobody knew about borderline. And they are still often confused. A few psychiatrists I have seen have said as much. I expressed my feelings as one with a mood disorder and am done now. I am sorry you feel I was inappropriate. Apparently at least two of us were very hurt by this. I feel we matter too. Our feelings matter. One can talk about "my daughter with untreated bipolar" and it sounds better thsn "I dumped all the bipolars" ( cringe). I am sorry you disagree with my speaking up. And a bit surprised. But I felt attacked and demeaned. If you wish to make this a seperate post, I am okay with this. I have much co.passion for all here and always have. Now I hope they return the compassion. I am not a bipolar and have never acted like these toxic adult kids who allegedly have bipolar. I am a kind person whose family loves me and who goes out of my to be supportive to hub and kids. I never stole, i dont call my loved ones names and my behavior is not like what was dezcribed here. And I try to help struggling people here. And I may be mildly bipolar. One of many diagnosis. I got. There are no definite ways to diagnose a pstchiatric problem. None. [/QUOTE]
