Same with my family. I think the only tool we have is education. If our families and friends can begin to understand, then the incredulity may change itself.
From the patient side, I prefer hypomania. It feels great, you get LOTS of work done, and you don't face the terrors of either mania or depression. I would also go for the feelings of mania over those of depression. The mania can be extremely dangerous, but in the middle of it, I don't notice.
Again, I have friends who look out for me. The only thing that's left for me is to trust them and keep myself safe.
Dee.
