J'ACCUSE!

Today, my brother accused me of faking my bipolar disorder for attention, all because I don't act the same as the bipolar girl in some TV show he watches. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Wait, you mean tv shows aren't always 100% accurate? Hmm, never would have guessed.

I'd rather be any kind of bipolar than that kind of stupid.

I've had the same said to me sweetie. Ignore him x

FYL - you could use this opportunity to educate him, though?

This was said to me when I was diagnosed. The best thing you can do is educate, but if they don't listen or care, try to brush off what they say.

sounds like a sensible person xD

Bipolar is a myth

That's a troll statement just to start a flame war if ever I saw. Net you will say the holocaust was faked and Kennedy was killed by the Coca cola cooperation.

Eastenders. Definitely eastenders

I'm really sorry. Even if the show was very well-researched and accurate, not all people with any given mental illness act the same. My grandmother had depression, several friends of mine have depression, and probably all of them show different sorts of symptoms. I wish more people realized that.

he sounds brilliant ???

Jenelle from Teen Mom 2 isn't just a bad influence on her son, she is now a bad influence on your brother! FYL OP.
