Need help

I am trying to find a way to help someone else understand my disorder. But nothing I does helps, we still end up back in the same place. Going in circles getting nowhere fast. Can someone tell me where I can go to help them understand better?

if your speaking about bipolar as the disorder. i've been living with the disorder most my life and only have been diagnosed recently. luckily i do have family who supports me.. but honestly they do not understand. you can actually look through the web ex google and find a lot of literature from professionals on how to manage or talk about dealing with relationships with friends family etc.

here is one site i found somewhat helpful and knowledgeable.

maybe print it out and show whom ever? i truly don't think anybody "normal" per say could understand but things of this nature could give them  knowledge of your situation.
