She is never satisfied, no matter what.
She is rarely happy. She has seemed good the last few weeks but now she is getting into that angry moody stage.
Cranky and snappy or saying things like I never get anything, never get to go anywhere etc. Depressed type things. She won't watch TV, read, do anything at all. Even when she is 'happier' she won't and she wonders why she feels so crap.
And I know what it is to be depressed. I am. diagnosed major depression. I know. But I still mange to at least watch a TV show to distract myself for a little while.
She won't listen to me about anything, just get mad and horrible towards me.
She puts things off she really shouldn't be or leaves them to the exact last minute.
I'm going to L.A in one week. I'm stressed about this as it is my first over seas holiday ever. i have never been on a plane this long and I am very scared of flying. I'm also having trouble just leaving my house lately so this is a big thing for me.
I just don't need mum losing it again.
She has no idea the stress she puts on me.
She takes her medication but won't learn about bipolar, or see a psychologist or anything. Won't listen. Won't try. Just seems to expect that things will get better on their own.
She expects to float along and for me to fix everything.
I was starting to feel like maybe things were going to be ok because she was doing so well mood wise. I just hate this feeling that this is it. Forever things will be this way.
I'm so stressed I'm having health issues.
But I can't let her go and fend for herself because she'll end up in a mess for sure.
I feel so bad for her and guilty and sad. She has a job but brings in barely anything, has a lot of debt from her first manic spending spree still, plus all the other normal bills. I feel bad because I can't help her, more then I am. I feel bad because I get to do things now that she can't because i save my money for them. Like this trip to L.A.
I feel like I can't have anything in my life.
So many major things in my life have been ruined because of her...which absolutely breaks my heart, because I love her so much. My 18th bday was, my engagement was. i don't even want to have a wedding because I know what will happen.
I should be bouncy and excited about my trip and all I can think off is what if this and what if that.
And yes I know I need helpI have a doctor and everything, what I need is for all this to just go away and let me live my life.
And I was starting to really think things could be ok again...why can't they?

I just feel so horrible all the time like any seconds things are going to fall down around me.
I don't think she sees anything but herself most times and when it's your own mother that's hard.
I feel so guilty for wanting to just keep going with my life. I can't be responsible for everything I just can't. I love her so much. I just want her to be ok.
I want to get through a day without feeling so depressed and scared that I can't even function.
I have my good and bad days. But her illness is just so hard. And it makes it harder knowing this is it.
I'm sick too. It's just breaking me.
