I had to really look into myself and stop using a "flare up" as an excuse to act out on my loved ones with the expectation they'll just deal with it.

YUP. bragging about “i’m off the meds this is the real me” & harassing his wife publicly is not something i’ll pity him for. he HAS help, but refuses

Hi :
So true. With all this going on it’s frustrating that people’s perception of bipolar and people with bipolar might be heavily influenced by this :/

Thank you for these! My roommate is bipolar and I watch how hard she works everyday against it. You do a really great job humanizing it.

Kanye is not a good example of the bipolar community, but he's also said he's "off his meds" and has been since 2020, where his behaviour became SO

i feel like most ppl making comments have never loved someone with bipolar & don’t fully understand the magnitude of the situation

The same people making awful comments about said person’s behavior are the same ppl that post “you can talk to me!!” after a celeb unalives themselves

emphasis on privilege and emphasis on access, which we need to expand so much.

Important conversation, I have a huge issue with how they almost glamorize being unmedicated as part of their “genius”

I have schizoaffective bipolar which comes with a lot of stigma, using mental illness as a licence to act without consequences reinforces the stigma.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but I do think it’s a lot more nuanced than just having the financial means to access support

I agree that people regardless of their mental health are responsible for their actions, but I don’t think it’s as black and white as just accepting-

Bipolar 2 here. I always say my disorder is an explanation, not an excuse. It’s so important to be accountable and responsible.

Bipolar disorder looks different on everyone. He may have access to the funds needed to get treatment but that doesn’t mean he has the mental capacity

I see his condition(s) as a lens through which I take in his content. Not an excuse, but a way of understanding. I hope he is held accountable.
