    Sweetie, just calm down.
    There's nothing you can do, but talk to your friends and let it out that way. Fuming, in a way.

    I am Bipolar, and I assure you, it's harder to deal with than you can immagine. Bipolar people don't mean to have so many mood swings, it's a part of who we are, we can't help it.

    You need to talk to your parents about this, anyways. Not a shrink. Talk to them and tell them how you feel...And realize that once this happens, your mother may realize how 'annoying' (bad choice of word, but I don't know what else to say there, sorry) she can be... And, perhaps, it'll help just to talk to the family and not a shrink.

    Just a suggestion.
    Best of luck to you.

    Hey.

    Normally, I leave these posts and don't answer but I have to say, I feel for you. To all of you ignorant fools who never think about the families of peoples with mental illness, Try it, you might learn something.

    I have Bipolar and I completely realise how difficult it is for my family to cope a lot of the time. I suggest you try and get away from your mum sometimes. I know that sounds harsh and yes she is ill, But you need some you time. Go and stay with a family member or a friend for a weekend and just enjoy yourself without worrying about home.

    And Demons Oracle or whatever, you should read up on Bipolar a bit more then because sometimes anti depressants ARE used to treat it.

    that right anti-depressants are used to treat bipolar sometimes. but it is usually on top of other drugs to, usually a mood stablizer.

    hey, sweetie, keep staying calm... if u freak out right now, are you being a good role model to ur siblings? ur mum is probably bringing hell down in the form of emotion, but she cant help it. make sure she doesnt take 2 many meds, or she might OD. u can try something different, like being sweet. get ur siblings together and do something nice for her; maybe give her a painting or bake a cake. you can even write her a poem, fellow p&q member! :)

    cheer up; the hardest struggles are rewarded more

    i have a lot of that stuff happening in my family too. Honestly, be happy that ur mom even reaches out for help and goes to doctors. Be happy that your family tries to help you by taking yo uto doctors as well. Maybe rite now it may lok to u like, Why can't they talk to me, or something like that. But at least there trying something.

    My mom struggles with depression, along with me my sister and my brother. At times my dad as well. All of us have seen doctors taking medication at times, currently jstu 3 of us. And i understand that it's very hard to deal with a hosue like that. And eventually you kind a just feel like Why won't everyone just stop yelling?

    Idk. I'll stop because I feel I'm putting to much of myself into this. Understand that at some points, you jsut have to realize, maybe you don't want to deal with this, But you ahve to. ANd one day, you'll be gone, and you won't have to deal anymore.

    Know that everything happens for a reason. That this experience rite now is probably happening to make yo ua stronger person. It's up to you, to let it break you, or let it make you stronger than anyone else in the world.

    God bless and good luk.
