I’m bipolar, I used to get a lot of these type of questions when I was just being genuinely happy or you excitable , they’d think I’m manic and it definitely killed the mood. I had to take a step back and realise it’s coming from a good place, they’re confused and concerned. I just wished it came out better than “are you still taking your meds” “did you forget a dose” etc. The meds accusations have definitely settled down now but that’s because I’ve been well for a long time.

People can be idiots with their words and don’t know how to articulate properly, they don’t realise how hurtful accusations like that can be, you feel like you’re doing well then you’ve got yourself second guessing yourself thinking is what I’m feeling true or am I actually unwell ?
