Some I finally told my mother (father is away at work) that I have bipolar. It's been about 6 months since I started treatment so she whinged about me taking this long but I wasn't stable enough for this earlier on.

To summarise:
-she doesn't trust my pdoc and wants a second opinion.
-she doesn't understand how there isn't a blood test to 'prove' it
-she isn't really for my meds
-she thinks dad really won't like it

She was trying to say I'm misdiagnosed and I wasn't up for telling her how bad my symptoms were a few months back. Hey! Your daughter had a psychotic episode, hurr! Yeah, no. But she's not taking it seriously either way and keeps asking when I'll be off meds. >>

and a side note, she has no idea who Stephen Fry is so I couldn't use his doco as a leverage point.

So now I just feel stressed and awkward at home. I also don't know if I should mention I have bipolar on the net under my real name still either. But I really dislike self censoring on it all the time too. Bah.

I need hugs I think.
