This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Yesterday....my mother threw my "mistakes" in my face again. Talking sh** about how the jobs I lost this past year were ALL MY FAULT. she pulled this crap two hours before I had a job interview. She said she was just trying to "help me". I told her that when she says these things, it just tears me down and that I can't have her saying these things to me. Her response was "yeah, I know I'm an evil BI***"
Today....I mentioned that I badly need a haircut. She started in about "how can you afford a haircut when you can barely make your rent. So, you will look good when you live in the woods?" I told her I didn't want talk about it and she immediately wanted to hang up on me.
I am working at a job that I HATE until I can find a different job, so
I AM waiting on several companies' decisions (from interviews I have had in the past week.
I am SERIOUSLY STRESSED.
I DO NOT NEED THIS
She calls me ten times a day. I can't take her. I am very agitated and angry. And I have to go spend 8 hours at a job that I HATE.

Sending you (((hugs))) and good positive thoughts.
Limiting contact a bit sounds sensible, at least to try. But maybe thats not practical. Best wishes.
I'm praying for you....I know it's your mother but maybe you could not answer and get the message later...
((((Hugs)))))
I'm sending best wishes that one of your other job prospects comes through. And encouragement to stop answering your mom's calls. Be strong and advocate for yourself!
We just have to keep our distance and grit our teeth when we do talk to them. Big hugs.
