"Have you tried not being bipolar?"

Trump voters have a pretty novel way to handle this. When they lost to Biden they didn't get sad, they got angry. Fast forward 4 years when they won and they didn't get happy, no, they got angry again. If all you feel is anger you have no room for sadness or happiness, just more anger.
- Trump supporters: Have you tried being dumb and racist?
- Why is the US election talked about under unrelated posts
  Its not even a current event

I’ll take top middle since being active is proven to be one of the best things for depression and yes I know it won’t cure clinical depression but since he has no way of knowing what kind of depression you have it is genuinely good advice and said with the best of intentions.
- He also wants you to join his vegan Crossfit gym. It's only $600/month. It's at a local park.

My mother, who knows and supports my medication, and understands the swings, Is always telling me about this vitamin, or that herb, and often advocates walks in nature. Before diagnosis and medication, when I was in the lows, she would try to help with some of these, especially the nature walks. I would tell her that sure, it was proven it helps, but I'f I havent managed to get in the shower for a week, do you expect me to go hiking?
She was supportive and well meaning, and I appreciate the effort, but yeah fuck many of these.

Where’s the girl that’ll get you in trouble or the plug you’ll go broke getting drugs from?

Maybe I should do that again. Bad weekend, I kind of picked a fight with my partner and it seems we have broken up. It's our third major blowup in three years - well, my major blow up. But I'm not sure we were compatible either. And he blames my bipolar all the time.
- Well, when I was untreated I definitely made my ex-wife's life worse. She called the it "The Jeckill and Hyde" and she wasn't all that wrong.
  Are you properly medicated?
  
  I did switch up meds a few weeks ago and he knew that.

In Canada : have you considered MAID
(Medical assistance in dying : aka suicide)

I thankfully have not gotten those sort of reactions to my Type II BPD (although I don't talk about it much), but I sure get it all the time for another medical issue I'm dealing with. Even now that I have a probable diagnosis and am making progress, I still get armchair medical experts diagnosing me and telling me what I need to do to treat it. And I know most of them mean well, but it's so damn infuriating.
Also, not a single one of them has been right. Not one.

Yeah, that's all BS but have you tried smiling a little? Would look good on you!
