please more bipolar awareness not just awareness for unipolar depression 

i don’t see enough posts about bipolar disorder and it’s really upsetting because i know several people who have bipolar disorder and it’s not fun not seeing posts about it bipolar disorder in general can be a debilitating disorder that can mess with your whole entire life

im not joking

we do exist, we aren’t here to be treated like we’re “moody bitches” or whatever other ableist idea you have towards us

TRUE.
Also important to note that not all bipolar affected folks are affected in the same way! While it’s common to write off a manic phase as being impulsive and hypersexual, some people’s manic phases are like that, and some are not. Some manifest more as anxiety, or irritability, or even excitement.
On the flip side, depressive episodes vary in symptom manifestation and severity. If you want to support someone with bipolar disorder, don’t assume their symptoms are all the same! Give them an opportunity to describe their phases, how they manifest, and what helps them the most. :3
