i have to avoid people as much as i can whenever i'm feeling depressed or am at the end of a manic episode because my intense anger causes me to say things i don't mean. that's not the way i normally behave, but i refuse to let my emotions upset others or make them feel bad. sometimes though i need to talk things out with someone and they misinterpret that as ruining their day because i am bringing them down. fortunately, that only occurs on rare occaisions since most of the people i know or meet are very understanding of my bipolar.
