Why is it that when someone finds out that another person is weak in some way, he decides to taunt him?
Bipolar people are taunted all the time.
Life can be pure hell.
Is the trick not to let them know you're ill?
In the secrecy of the internet, I confess that I am ill.
But I know that I am stronger in my weakness. So are you. So are we.
Are bipolar people less quick to taunt. Because we know what it feels like? I would hope so.

My experience has been that when I don't respond in ways that people expect of me, especially at work, they become frightened then pushy and harsh. They don't understand my functionality is really based upon wherever I am in the mood cycle and whether I am able that day to perform. They know I've got the disability but they don't know what that really feels like so have no point of reference. That's when I feel taunted.
Dear Murky:
Don't let them know what ails you; i think it would make it worse. my workplace knew I was "crazy" and they played all kinds of tricks on me. It was horrible...
