Am I manic?

Last night, my partner told me that I’m manic. She called something I did NUTS and when I got upset about her saying that, she said that was manic too. Being Bipolar is incredibly frustrating. After 40 years of it I’ve become fairly good at monitoring my own behavior and asking for help when I need it. But sometimes, I know that I can’t recognize symptoms and I rely on others to point it out to me. I welcome this feedback. The last thing I want is to be a danger to myself or others. But calling my behavior NUTS really hurt. I said as much and she countered with the “fact” that she was talking about my behavior, not me. Am I being overly sensitive? Am I manic when I react negatively to using this kind of language? Please let me know what you think. I will continue to explore other avenues of support but want to know what others with these issues think.
Thanks!
