Bipolar: Anger, sadness, love, hate. It all flows, but in my case it's Anger more then anything else. People don't want to understand the pain and anguish it is to have your moods not be in control (I'm not on meds, personal reasons). They call it moods (for me it's episodes, don't just assume, ask what they call it.), and for me my episodes turn violant. I break glass, throw things, say hurtful things (want to know, just ask.), I more hurt myself then anyone/anything else. You have these episodes are a spike in anger and you crash down to dark, lonley, sandess.
It just gets crazy inside your brain. You want to be happy and to feel like a normal person, but it just kills you. You just learn to go to anger, but it isn't always like that. You can control it on your own (I did, but it's for different reasons). Therapy, control, meds (I don't always suggest that), but it's not "oh look! I'm cured!". Nothing is that simple. I'm not saying it will be easy, but you can learn to live with it. You can live a life without all the hate and anger, all the sandess, the up and down mood swings. It can be done, just have faith in youself.
Moral of the story: Don't judge someone with this illness and you can do it!
