Did you ever wonder how many people that claim to be bipolar really are and how many of them just say they are to get away with acting badly? I have a neighbor who claims to have bipolar disorder. After what I saw today I have my doubts. One of the other neighbors allegedly said something about her that was only like half true. But my neighbor claimed she never said it at all, and it made her mad. When I tried to talk some sense into my angry neighbor and pointed out to her she could go to jail for slander if she did what she was threatening to do she turned on me. She said F U and started to walk away I said excuse me. She then said you heard me F U and I made a remark I probably should not have about someone needing her meds. Now you need to bare in mind she has made the same remark about me when my anxiety is too high. She said she was on her meds and I said she did not act like it. At that point she turned and charged at me. I said to her in a calm voice if you touch me I will have you arrested she kept running toward me . I stood my ground and said a little louder I am not kidding you touch me I will have you arrested. She then pushed against my arm and said I touched you and then she did it again. I realized she was not out of control and I told her to behave herself. She then went back to her house and I came inside and shut the door.
I love this girl and her whole family a lot so the thought of possibly losing them as friends hurts me very much and I have been trying to fight back the tears ever sense. I do not think she liked me telling her she would be making a mistake if she slandered the other neighbor at her work place like she said she was going to. I do not know why she could not see I was trying to protect her from winding up in jail over something stupid. The fact she stopped when I threatened to have her arrested makes me think she may be faking the bipolar at least part of the time. WOW THIS IS INTERESTING: She just called to see if I was ok and to apologize. She is upset cause she upset me. So maybe she is bipolar.
