Many times a week or even in a day I hear someone say the person they are with are Bipolar.  Is this a problem? of course not.  The problem comes in when after that statement is, my wife/husband/ etc is Bipolar and has so many things I can not deal with, they are crazy, they have no idea on how to handle their lives, I cant stand their Bipolar, etc.

We as the person having bipolar do not want to have this illness, we do not go out of our way to make your life more complicated.
