Hi,
I am 26, with Bi-polar. It is hard to for me to deal with my parents. I swear at them to sometimes and regret it. Here is some support, it's not you, prehaps her thoughts are jumbled and she's frustrated with her situation so lashing out at small things. She's just come out of the hospital, it's so hard to make 2 cents out of it, plus in her mind she says,"you want to be fine", like instantly, but thats not possible. Speaking from experience becomes hard to evalute and judge your progress as you recover and your beating yourself up and wondering why is this happening? So your irritable and swear at the people who know you the best and seen all you're worsts-ie parents. I wish I knew what I could do sometimes to stop it...or to communicate better with them. I think with BP sometimes people that haven't gone through it don't understand you and the frustration and it comes out it ulgy forms.

Writing about it here helps.
