Re: How do you cope with cruel comments from complete strangers

Maria and 17,
Those are both extremely helpful responses. I've copied and pasted both.
In addition to this problem I'm bipolar. At this point I'm pretty much a hermit so the comments come mostly from family unfortunately. When one comes after trying SOOOO hard for so long to make huge changes then it's so disheartening. I just don't want to do this anymore and I feel beat the heck up. I came right here because it has helped more than anything finding others who know how awful it is to try to live like this.
I actually finally got the guts to talk to a second doctor telling him what I'd heard on this board. I copied one small paragraph out to show to him and carried it with me. NOTHING! He'd never heard of it.
I just don't want to live like this anymore, who would? Tweet
