My mom and I fight like no one I’ve ever heard of. Her anger is unmanageable and my bipolarness doesn’t mix well. Today my door (which was broken several years ago) was ripped off of its remaining hinges because my mom apparently doesn’t believe in privacy. WTF. Her reasoning: 7 year olds don’t get doors that lock (she likes to ridicule me by calling me a 7 year old).
She is a wonderful, generous person. She is also a monster.

ah you all probably hate me lol
My doctor told me he thinks several yrs from now everyone will have an annual mental health check up just like people do for physical health.
No Stigma.
Someday.
I’ve had FAR more people call me lazy in response to finding out I’m bipolar as opposed to crazy, and I actually prefer crazy.
Here’s why:
1) I know “crazy” is bullshit. I’m not crazy. Plain and simple.
2) My biggest fear is that “lazy” is true. That I’m not trying hard enough, that I’ll never…

8/26 So I just realized how silly this sounds haha. I made this right after I was diagnosed because I still had no idea what was going on with me. It made me stop and think about where I was mentally at that moment before I did something rash.
Its n
Cycling. Yesterday I woke up after 4 hours of sleep on TOP of the WORLD. Today I woke up at 6:00PM in Depression.
Senor Coyote I feel for ya “Dawg”.
Hi fellow bipolar. <3thestoryofabipolarbear
Hello! I JUST got the “Polar Bear” reference haha! Your posts take the words right out of my mouth! I saw that you are in the process of evacuating. I hope you get wherever you’re going safely!
My mom is the oldest of her siblings, and being the oldest she felt an obligation to watch over her seemingly rebellious little sister. She didn’t understand her for 30 years until a year into my psychiatrist appointments. I’ve been seeing him for two and a half years now. She also has bipolar disorder, and she unfortunately grew up at a time when it wasn’t really recognized. A lot of progress has been made since the beginning of her struggle to mine.
Without going into too much detail (this is anonymous but I still don’t feel right sharing her story without her permission), my aunt has had it rough. To summarize: ran away before she graduated h.s., bad relationships, money problems, etc. It gets more complicated, but I won’t go into that now. I fully believe what happened to her was a result of bipolar disorder.
Part of her treatment, many years ago, was shock therapy. Does anyone know if that is still practiced?!? How disturbing. That could have been me. Gives me a bit of perspective.
I have a cousin with bipolar disorder. He is something like a second cousin or a cousin once removed. I still don’t know how that works. Anyways, I just recently found out that he has it too. We get along wonderfully and are able to relate; however, he seems to be as stuck as I am at 32. Does this ever get better? Will I be able to move forward without the inevitable 5 steps back?
There are various other examples… my dad passed down his ADHD to me. Some of them are/were alcoholics. My mother suspects her grandmother was manic depressive as well. Throw in some anxiety and valuable sarcasm = my brain on drugs.
Side note: My neighbor down the block, who I grew up with, has bipolar disorder as well. If it wasn’t for the ^ I would say there is something in the water haha.
