My mother telling me there was nothing wrong with me I was just a b**** like my aunt(who is also bipolar) She said I could be "normal" if I wanted to I was just trying to make her life hard..this when I was a teenager asking to see a psychiatrist. She made me feel guilty and I never went to a psychiatrist until I was in my 30s when things started getting worse. WHen I told her I was bipolar she told me I was full of s**t.
