- I really struggle with this with my mother (As anyone who has read my other posts would know).I guess I do have some boundaries...but I'm not sure if they are even boundaries. She make me feel very guilty a lot.So I was just wondering what...
- Back again. Need to vent a bit. Probably will be long.Mum is going between being kind of happy to sad/depressed to very irritated. Sometimes she's depressed and irritated. It's hard to deal with. Nothing I say is right. Nothing I do is right.She...
- Sorry I keep posting I just don't know where else to get advise.She lied about seeing her doctor the other day and getting her medication sorted after a psychotic episode. My sister got a prescription and got her the tablets after talking to the...
- Mum is bipolar. Has been 'good', hasn't got psychotic or manic or anything in ages. But she seemed funny on the phone yesterday (I know what moods to look out for) and she didn't pick up when I rang and rang and rang today. So I drove over there....
- My mother is bipolar and single and has no friends. Her family doesn't have much to do with her. She has driven almost everyone away. She pretty much just has my sister and I. And my sister doesn't have as much contact as me. The reason I feel...
- I don't think my mum has ever done this before tonight. I went to visit her today like I always do. She has been doing fairly well for a while now. And as we were talking she began telling this story about me when I was about 16 or 17 which I am 99%...
- I was feeling so anxious last night and this morning I just couldn't cope with work today. I felt sick and was struggling not to cry. So I called in sick. I told the boss I had a stomach bug which wasn't entirely false, I was having stomach cramps...
- My mother has bipolar. She becomes very angry and unfair. Screaming at my sister and myself over things that aren't anything to do with us or we have no control over. This afternoon for instance I was at her house. She was ok. Things were ok. Then...
- I just had to leave work this morning after only being there for 40 minutes this morning because I was sure my bowels were going to play up all day and I'd be running to the toilet. I work in child care and we have to have enough staff per ratio of...
- Hi I am new to this group. I just feel like my social anxiety is getting worse and worse all the time. I also suffer from general anxiety and depression. I am just finding it so hard to cope. I hate my job. I want to quit so so so bad. But I can't....
- So my mum has been going really well for a while. But the last few days. She has been quite mean and nasty towards me for no reason. I am not aware of anything that could have set her off. As far as I know she is taking her medication, but I can't...
- My mum gets so annoyed at me because I try to monitor her moods and behaviours to see if she is going to have an episode. She has been having some warning signs and when I try to talk to her, or she thinks I have asked too many questions she gets...
- I have been trying to think of some ideas of things my mum can do, or she and I can do, so she doesn't end up getting really lonely and bored.I'm findng it difficult as neither one of us have any money to spend on actvities and she isn't interested...
- Mum is starting to go into this stage of being cranky and mean, no matter what anyone does. It's wrong. Everything is against her. We are all horrible and never listen to her, never check on her or worry about her. When obviously it's ALL I do!...
- 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....
