i can totally relate to this

Don't speak to what's left of my family and my BP wasn't the issue.

I Hear you. And lots of people here can Totally relate.

I really hope you will try not to burn bridges entirely though, no matter What happens. Some people are toxic, I get that. But you Really might need their support later, and time has a way of Altering things.

Everyone needs Someone in their "real" lives who understands them...or at least accepts them, no matter what. I hope you have, or can find, that. Even "one" person can give you a balance, when everything else around you is just Crazy.

My family left me in the middle of an episode, I have know one to trust. My mom is trying to fill in where my husband left me but I don't trust her, she plays two sides sometimes. I agree I would like to slap them too.

I dont lean onanyone I cant trust. My tdoc lets me email him. I dont overload him but he is a release. I dont overload the few friends I have who know but they are a release. I have klonopin which works for me when I get over BP'd. Everyone has something diff that might work for them..

I'm so sorry you are struggling with your family and they aren't supportive. I do understand. Well, part of it at least... The lack of support portion. At least your family knows you are BP. I am too afraid to tell mine!

you don't have to take them.
how about you decide that you don't want to take this anymore, and battle this on your own. you don't need an ignorant group of people surrounding you, so don't let them.
ive decided that i do not want to be part of any family, i do not gain a thing from being involved with them other than stress. sometimes flesh and blood is just that, and nothing more. im sorry that you're in this position, however many of us understand that we can't chose our family !

Don't hsve much contact with my family and when I do, it's usually by email.

Family is one of the hardest things, as a beeper. At least that's what I think.

and this well fuck every time i talk to you or every time we are all together u fuck it all up just like my daughters first x-mas u can get along with any body
