I told him I get ssdi and he says “I don’t wanna rely on the government though”. I didn’t say anything. But I thought that he must not have ever reached the lows that I reached if he thinks he’s too good for getting help from the govt. this kid was bipolar. And he told me his parents disowned him and then he literally got 5 visitors per day on average…his parents came every single day. I just don’t get why people lie. He said he had been hospitalized like 4 times. I’m very honest. What’s your level of honesty? I can lie because I’m an addict but I don’t lie unless it’s a white lie. I don’t think he was telling white lies. He was trying to get an advantage

I wouldn’t take what he said personally. The fact is he probably hasn’t ever been in a situation where he needs govt assistance and so his opinion is just that. A single sided version of all he’s grown up to know. Being blessed. Bipolar disorder is a real bitch though. Being bipolar myself I’ll tell you I’ve told a lie or two. When I’m manic I can tell no truths it seems. There’s always truth buried in there but I’ll be a different person. Ive actually (without mentioning it to anyone because it’s shameful) decided to be a much more honest person. It sucks really because with only telling truths I’m stuck being a relatively underachieving unaccomplished crazy person whose weird and had done lots of embarrassing ■■■■. Lol. Lies use to cover all that up.

Very true and all. I’m sza bipolar too. You are right thank you for putting it in perspective. I think this kid had an altered perception of me, as well, because at first he saw eye to eye and then he realized I was older than him and he kinda looked up to me a little. I liked this kid don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to understand the situation better. I’ve bern tortured and brainwashed under the influence of drugs. Been hospitalized 10 times, arrested 3, been to rehab including outpatient more times than I could think. Not many people from similar walks of life as me (my family has money and are good people, etc…) have faced what I faced at 28 years. So maybe he was just making stuff up in the heat of the moment meeting me, not really understanding what I’m all about just yet. I liked him, but we didn’t exchange numbers at the end. He was a bit troubled and immature but a good person nonetheless.
