Received a troubling amount of bias. Needed to let this out.
For who’s concerned, everyone but Keri and my dad in my life have routinely abandoned me when I have shown symptoms of mania and depression. Many of these folks are pillars in the community. Some even work in mental health. But I get very few breaks in life showing symptoms.
I had four kids in a past life, they haven’t spoken to me for years. Everything they’re mad at me for was unchecked and untreated bipolar disorder. They were never even in danger. But I no longer get to see them or even feel safe around them now that I’m treated for 8+ years.
Bands I’ve been in even talked about how it sucked to be mentally ill, yet I go though a mania phase, and I’m kicked out.
Friends cozy up to me, unless I’m intense that day. Some will go weeks without saying hi. Yet talk on their stuff and email about bias and how wrong it is.
I’ve even been the token mental patient friend that was completely ignored by token holders.
Please consider your bias before my faults.
I don’t know why folks brag about not being biased when they are. It doesn’t help them. It doesn’t help society. I’ve got lots of biases. I have no problem owning them. I’m working to get rid of them, but I’m a work in progress.
Look it up.
Maybe you don’t know what bipolar disorder or lithium is. Maybe you don’t know what bias is. Maybe you don’t know who I am. I’d read something. There’s tons on all that, even me.. here! But it’s painful to receive bias from the good guys.
