If it happens, just apologize and let people know you’re not well.

I’m sorry! I know that must suck. I get whiny instead of offensive.

I told my sensitive sister she was fat. I dont remember it well and she let it go.

Hey, please do not worry. If it happens, just apologize and allow others to know that you weren’t feeling well. :heavy_heart_exclamation:

I threatened a hospital psychiatrist last Dec. when I’d been off meds for 2 months and she took out a restraining order against me. I didn’t just offend her, I scared the sh it out of her. Now I’m having to deal with a lot of legal issues from that restraining order…

People tell me that I said and did things while I was psychotic that I have absolutely no recollection of. All we can do is apologize for our hurtful words or actions. It’s just part of the illness, unfortunately, and people can either accept that and move on, or reject that and have us go our separate ways.

There have been times when I was off my med’s that I went beyond offensive to verbally assaultive. I think I enraged a whole town. At least I didn’t single any one person out and make them the object of my rage.
