I'm going through the same thing. People don't genuinely want to hear it unless it's positive. Well, sometimes it's just not positive. Sometimes you feel as low as you ever have and it's sad that we have to put on a smile for ignorant people who just refuse to get it. I'm sorry you're going through this too. It's so hard. But one day I hope to find that one person who really does want to hear the truth. Whether it be a friend or a significant other, I'm waiting and holding on for that person.

I am sorry you are going through this...my daughter i believe is bipolar but she is to young to diagnose her. She screams at everything for no reason, depressed over everything and sees and hears things...what she calls her demons. My heart is broken for her. I don't know how to make life pleasant again for her. She wants a new school and I am tempted to do it for her just anything to help her

If any of you young girls can help me help her I would be forever grateful.....thank you...

Hello Susan842.
I'm sorry that your daughter is going through a really rough time. It seems most teenagers who experience psychological disorders have issues with going to school. For my senior year, I have opted to stay home and finish my credits via online college courses. Even though this meant losing my place as valedictorian, I simply couldn't bring myself to return to my high school.
I'm 18 and tentatively diagnosed with type 2 bipolar, it is hard to tell in young people. The rages and depression sound very familiar. What your daughter calls her demons is not like anything I've experienced. Maybe a form of schizophrenia, or a serious issue with her meds?
I'm sorry you have to go through this as a parent. I have watched my parents struggle a lot and they actually see my therapist once in a while to work on dealing with it. Both you and your daughter are welcome here.
Hope something on here was helpful. Please feel free to message me with questions about my bipolar disorder and the things I've tried to help it.

No parent or friend wants to hear that their loved one is going through a rough time. For a long time, my own parents never wanted to hear it, sometimes they still don't.

Finding someone you can trust (like on this website) could give you a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on. (It may be the internet, but hey, it's better than no one right?) When I had severe agoraphobia and stayed home all day, the only people I would talk to were other people with anxiety on medhelp.com.

Everyone with some mental disorder, obviously, goes through a rough time. Some times are rougher than others. You just have to keep encouraging yourself to move forward, because there's an amazing life ahead of you.

If you need someone to talk to, ever, you can message me. :)

Thank you so much for your kind reply. My daughter has became worse. They still see it as anxiety only but I know better. She is still seeing things and hearing things. Misses nearly everyday of school now, or half days. We get calls from school daily if not hourly from the nurse saying she's there. I don't know what to do. She is on 4 meds, including seroquel now (50 mg) which knocks her out and majpjes her tired the next morning. I've looked into home school but she's to young to stay home by herself and I am going to start working on the 2nd of June so I won't be home. I'm out of ideas. My heart is broken for her.
