Bipolar Disorder - Teen Support Group

Hi I have severe bipolar type one which means I have hallucinations of all sorts and delusions which seems like schizophrenia.
I can understand where your son may be coming from. I told my mom I hated her tons of times, I made plans to kill her and my family. But not because I wanted too, because I was told to by Sam. Sam is a voice I hear. She's not very nice, she's cruel and mean and hateful.
Maybe your son is hearing voices? I hate the world for doing this to me. For making me crazy. Maybe your son feels the same. Try taking hm to a therapist. This will give him time to talk to somebody and maybe tell them exactly WHY he hates you and the world. Perhaps he is hearing voices?

Thanks alot ill do that.

what i would say is get a camera and record his outbursts then take em to a doc its better to see the behavior in action then to just take him in it took several years to get diagnosed for me first time i got hospitalized i was misdiagniosed took a year and a half later and a court order to get hospitalized again to make the right diagnosis

i used to think about killing my family but i was really unstable then now i appear as normal as can be been stable for 2 years before i was diagnosed i told my mom i was gonna join a gang adn that i hated the world too i gave my parents hell from the time i was 4 years old til i was 16

Well what i'd have to figure is that recording his angry spouts may make him angrier. I know that'd piss me off. I'd feel like she was making fun of me.

maybe just write it down then

I did write it all down it was all in text messages and i copied them and today the doctor had proof so he put him on prozac. Last time with out any proof he just blew me off so i knew what i needed to do. I read the storis and i think it may be the bipolar but he said that is a real strong thing to diagnose right now But well see he is set up to go to behavior health thing it will take about 2 weeks to get in they said.
Thanks for all replys!
Ill keep everyone updated.

prozac is for depression and anxiety.


you should see if you can get him on lamictal.
that really knocks out most of my mania.
i have little hypomania but nothing huge.
i'm a lot less angry.

in some cases antidepressants can bring on mania and actually make things worse

Our boy 15 has done that and worse .I understand how much worry this is. He was on Prozac and abilify and that combo was OK for a while although he wasn't 'happy'. He seemed more depressed and quite than he used to be. Then came 2 really violent episodes (thank god no one was hurt). but there was several scary threats made by him and such rage and anger. He was hospitalized and now on 3 different meds..respital, tofranil, and trileptal..they seem to be working well for now. In our case. and I don't know if it's been the same for everyone with BP..the meds work for a while and then need to be either changed or adjusted. You are not alone in this...good luck
