Living with Bipolar Disorder in a Hypochondriac Family

I'm bipolar and I'm the only one in my family with this disorder. No one in my family (of hypochondriacs) knows this about me, except my Mom and brother. It's really lonely and isolating, not having anyone to talk to who understands what I'm going through.

I also wonder why I'm the only one in my family that has bipolar 1. It's suppose to be genetic but I guess not always. Obviously.
