Does anyone understand?

By Frustrated Friday, August 06, 2010

I was diagnosed with bipolar depression at 23 but now years later it seems to have gotten worse. My husband and friends try to understand but if you haven't been there you just can't understand. They don't understand why I'm sad or mad for no reason.... My Mom is also bipolar but if I try to talk to her the conversation ends up being about her instead of how I'm feeling......It would just be nice to know there are other people out there who get me.....

I feel like i understand you because i go through the same thing. Where one minute i am fine and laughing, the next im angry and mad at everyone. I cant explain why i get like this. It lost some friends because of this, and i also have family mad at me for being soo moody. They say i have a bad case of mood swings. im sorry, it is so frustrating and hard.
