Hi everyone,

I'm new to posting on forums but this looks like a great place to start. I posted the following on the new members page and it was suggested I post it here.

I've been questioning my mother's mental health for awhile now. She was always on the high strung side but in recent years it's gotten worse. She is either energetic or very tired, she often complains she's not getting enough sleep. She can be very moody, quick to anger, quick to put down, and she thinks nothing of screaming at us and calling us names from time to time. She blows off important things and way over reacts to little things. She's also very unorganized, looses things constantly. She gets fixated on topics to the point where it's like she can't stop. Even with prompts, she'll get distracted for a few seconds and then start again. Friends have started asking me if she is manic, if she has adhd. She calls me on the phone a minimum of 6 times a days whether or not I'm working or she's working. She's constantly complaining she has no money even though she's not a reckless spender. Not sure what to do. Feel awful talking about her like this but I'm at my wits end. Any suggetions???
