Introductions...here it goes!

[Christopher2]

I have found compassion from my family and some financial help at times other times distrust and fear and a few times near violent anger and disbelief that I was as ill as I was mentally. Some believe I am lazy and not trying hard enough. One that is my most vocal critic and one of my abusers has even stated that ‘there is no such thing as Bipolar Disorder! More later.

Me too. To everything you said, except for having some family to reach out to. I mean they are there, but dont respect me as a person (enough to be honest) so they really aren't. Good to hear you're not easily swayed by people who disbelieve actual conditions. You ain't lazy. You posted this, thats something. Its proof you're not.
