im bipolar, and ive had a few angry episodes where i lash out say a lot of hurtful things that i dont mean at all but becus i cant control my mood swings, i end up hurting the people that i love the most. a month ago, i had an episode where i said a lot of hurtful things to my best friend. she has accepted my apology but she is very hurt with the things that i said. she said that at times i can be the best friend ever and then completely switch to being the worst person on the planet. i understand what she is saying but how do i explain to her that this is not intentional and not my fault, and that i act this way at time becus of the bipolar. do u think she will understand?
