Hi decembergroovae; I'm sorry that your mom isn't listening to your concerns. Perhaps you could try writing a letter to her and attached a checklist of BP symptoms. This is one from the NAMI website http://www.nami.org/Template.cfm?Sec...ontentID=13108 You could also try speaking to a school counselor once school starts. If this still doesn't work is there another adult family member that could help you speak to your mom? Is there any family history of mental illness? Glad you decided to post and Good Luck!
