3. I couldn't make out what was going on in the audio clip

It just sounded like a couple of angry people to me.

When I realized how some people who were close to me had damaged me, I took immediate steps to distance myself from them. After several months of reflecting and healing I found that I was better able to deal with them. I can be around them now for short periods of time and tolerate it.

But it sounds to me as if you have been damaged so badly that those who have hurt you will always be toxic to you. If you can shut them out of your life, I'd suggest it. You might find yourself feeling completely alone in the world, but I've found that feeling to have a quality of liberation to it after years of torment.

I have bipolar disorder, too, but I have a handle on it now days. I think you can get a handle on your problems as well, but it will be more difficult if you are around people who are still hurting you.
