When I have issues's with my mother she says I am bipolar. The therapists I have seeing for like the last 4 years says no it's depression. I have bombarded my mother and sister with my daily teen drama via long distance phone calls. My family lives out of state. My sister has never been able to have children ( Bless her Heart) and my mother is the queen of mean. So, yes I guess I can get on the defense when I am trying to express myself. I was really just looking for a listening ear and maybe some advise. I felt like they really didn't want to hear it so, I would blurt it out as fast as I could. I guess that's a bit selfish of me not to let them say anything till I was done. I didn't mean for it to be that way. I just had so much to say in such a short time. My mother thinks because I get upset easily( she taught me well) that I am bipolar. I have been advised for years not to tell her anything but I kept forgiving her. So if I get upset and try to defend myself, because I can't seem to do anything right in her eyes, she calls me bipolar. I quit taking Wellbutrin due to my severe hyperhydrosis problem but I do take up to 3 pills of 0.5mg of xanax as needed. I am still depressed but much better than a few years back. Could I have been diagnosed incorrectly? Check out my profile for more understanding of my issues. Thanks for listening.
