Hey Amy, I really empathise. What stupid, insensitive person told you that you are hard to love? If I was told I was hard to love, then I'd 'act out' as well. I'd express all the hurt that comment gave me by showing anger, just to make sure everyone knew how hurt I was. The trouble is, people are so stupid that they often don't realise that you're expressing your vulnerability rather than aggression. Maybe you could write a piece on being bipolar for your church or parish magazine or website - educate people, they obviously need it. Oops, posted in the wrong place!

My church family runs away from me when I am having problems because I don't act right, do an say bad things. I have always been told that I am hard to love, so I act that out. I have been being myslef in church and on Facebook and I just loose friends.
