Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
so I have already told everyone about how my dad got in my face about a month or so ago. Fists clenched, screaming cussing and evil hate in his eyes. He never apologized, only showered me with tests of "when you can come to terms that this is MY house and I will do things MY way, you are more than welcome to come and visit me". So then I get the text last week saying he is selling his house nearby and moving three hours away. Who the hell even cares???
The there is my mother. She calls me or texts me at LEAST four times a day. And when I don't answer it she treats me like I have been a bad child. I told her goodnight last night on the phone around 8:00. she calls me this afternoon and reads me the riot act about how I never call her and why I didn't call her back last night. Wtf!?! Then tonight she calls me AGAIN. and when I don't give her the right answers, I wasn't talkative because I am depressed. I tried to explain to her that I am depressed and that she tries to lay a guilt trip on me if I don't answer every call and/or text and I am not trying to be rude. And that putting a guilt trip on me only makes it worse. So her answer is "I will never make the mistake of calling you again. When you have something to say you can call me". She, as always, turns it around to be all about HER. She has never even TRIED to understand what I go through. I told her that tonight and she got even madder at me. I ended up hanging up on her. I can't do this. I feel so overwhelmed with my job and money stresses and I so don't need this. I need help.

I am truly sorry that your parents are treating you as if your feelings and what you are going through, don't matter. They are being extremely selfish. Put boundaries in front of them and let them know you will not be treated like you and your problems don't matter. They need to stop being cruel, and selfish. I know it's not easy to just let go when it's your parents, but trust me from experience, they can cause your physical symptoms and health to get much worse. Put yourself first and foremost. They know what buttons to push and they are pushing them hard. Don't allow it any longer. When things get hard on you, we are here to help you and a place for you to vent without judgment. Hugs GB

Both your parents seem reactive and volatile. I'm sorry you're getting no emotional support from them. Idk what to say.... What a painful and taxing situation. Can you keep your head down at home while working and planning to leave? Big hugs.

Take a break from your folks right now. You are not a child and you make decisions for yourself and you only. Stand up for yourself first. Take care of yourself first. Don't answer the phone or texts. When you feel better then call them back say you are taking care of yourself and do not need any fighting or drama if they can not be civil during your rough time in your life then do call. Be firm.
