My mom is bipolar and she takes med's for
it. If you feel you have this disoder
then pm me and I talk to you about it if
you want. I used to be bipolar but I have
to be strong for my family.
Bipolar you can overcome by proper med's
like my mom or counciling like me.
Hope this help

Hi I am not bipolar, my mother was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 2
years ago. On friday night, she ended up
overdosing on sleeping pills. She said
that she wasn't trying to kill herself,
but when she hit the bad depression
before, she attempted suicide by overdose.
I am not sure whether or not she was so
depressed that she was trying to hurt
herself or because she was in her manic
stage only a few days before that maybe
she was just too tired and indeed lost
count of the pills and was just trying to
sleep. Since then she has been at
thunderbird behavorial center. She ended
up getting sad and then really mad that
she wasn't home and trashed her room and
hit her head against the window trying to
get out. Since then the doctors have had
her on a sedating medication that starts
with an 'e' but I don't know what she was
saying. Since she started this she has
had slirred wording and really doesn't
remember a thing and thinks things that
aren't true. She claimed to have had an
agrument with my sister only 10 minutes
before that indeed did not happen. I am
wondering if all these 'random' things
that she is thinking is because she misses
home and is trying to get out of the
sedation and can't or what. But I find it
very hard to visit her because she is not
herself and I cried the entire way home
tuesday night because she didn't know what
she was saying. I think that she needs a
support group to help her understand and
take her disorder and her medication more
seriously. I would also like to know more
about what is going on because I am
worried about her and what will happen to
her if she doesn't listen. I am truly
afraid that the next time she overdoeses
she won't be coming back home. I am so
sorry if I sound like I am rambling, but I
just don't know what to do anymore.
Please if you can help me, any and all
help would be appreciated!!

My mom is bipolar and takes meds for it.
She takes lithobid. Hope I spelled that
right! She has real bad depression too.
I think her doctor said she was manic
depressive! It really sucks! She use to
be a alcoholic about 8 years ago and that
made her even more depressed. My mom has
tried to kill her self about 3 times.
Maybe more I don't know about. It's hard
to tell. But her bipolar makes her really
moody! She likes to fight all the time.
Sometimes it's so hard to be around her.
She tries to fight about everything.
Bipolar don't just affect the person! The
family goes through hell also! I love my
mom though and her family try to help her
the best we can. She has been doing
better since she got on lithobid. But it
doesn't cure them that for sure. We take
one day at a time really. Some days are
good and some are really bad. If u would
like to ask me any questions just pm me!
