Moms are supposed to love you no matter what. This makes me think, possibly, that your mother went strait to wondering what she did wrong and how she is to blame for you being bipolar. If there was something she could have or should have done different to change the outcome. While you did not attack her in telling her what was going on in your life she may feel attacked in her own head and she may have just been being defensive even against her own thoughts or feelings.
You will need time to accept and understand the disease as will she. Bipolar disorder is just like any other lifelong disease, it affects not only the one who has it but anyone who loves you.
Good luck
