So Britney is bi-polar according to everyone in her life. If she is I feel for her because it sucks and yes when you are in a manic you don’t see that you are acting bonkers. I just hate the generalizations. “All bi-polar people behave this way” drives me nuts. If you aren’t taking care of yourself or aware of the issue then sure you can act nuts but not ALL bi-polar people act that way. I am no where near that crazy.
Then that poor missing marine from camp lejeune. Pregnant and bi-polar and her family comes out talking about how crazy she can be and blah blah blah then ooops we find out that the prick who raped her probably killed her and she is buried in a shallow grave. Just because she is bi-polar does not mean that going missing was a product of that. Her family should be in Oslo county searching for her and for clues and they should be expressing nothing but concern instead of bashing her mental state and then discovering that maybe if they had actually given her some credit she could be alive. They brushed her off as bi-polar rather than taking anything she said and moving on it. Now she is probably dead and it could have been prevented if she hadn’t been written off as a wack job bi-polar pregnant nut.
Yes those with bi-polar can be violent. They can lie and manipulate, they can hide from reality even when it bites them in the rear, they can seem sane one second and then seem deserving of a white jacket and padded room the next but that doesn’t mean that they should always be discounted if they have upsets or concerns. We are people too. We can get raped just as easily as anyone else, we can get assaulted and abused sometimes even more easily because we will trust anyone given the right mood. Being bi-polar does not give us immunity from life’s woes and I am sick of hearing crud like that.
