What's the most annoying misconception about bipolar disorder?

One of the most frustrating misconceptions I’ve come across is that bipolar disorder is just about being "moody" or "dramatic." For me, it’s not just about mood swings. The highs and lows can take over my whole life, and it’s much more than just feeling happy or sad.

Another big one is that people think the depression is just feeling down. For me, it’s feeling completely empty, like I can’t even get out of bed. The manic phase isn’t just about being hyper either — for me, it’s racing thoughts, risky behavior, and sometimes feeling out of control.
