When people with bipolar are excited about something, they can get comment from people around them like “Calm down, you’re getting manic.”
This can be frustrating and you may even find yourself questioning all of your emotions, believing that whatever you feel is caused by your illness.
But this is not true.
People with bipolar experience normal ups and downs like everyone else. They just need to know which ups and downs are regular and which are caused by bipolar.
