The weather is NOT bipolar, please stop using that term as an adjective. My illness is not a descriptive word for fucks sake.

The weather changes frequently. Call it moody.

It’s an adjective that also happens to describe a medical disorder. Take a look at how bipolar is used in chemistry for another example.

Google “bipolar definition.”

  1. having or relating to two poles or extremities. "a sharply bipolar division of affluent and underclass"

“Moody” could be considered offensive too if you want to take that route. I’ve been clinically depressed and could easily be described as “moody” on those occasions. I don’t make jokes like “Hey, tell Mother Nature to take her meds,” because mental illness is NOT something to joke about - as someone who has suffered mental health issues I’ll be the first to defend that. But bipolar isn’t a term exclusive to psychiatric realms.
