I hate it when people feel like they need to fix me. I don't need fixing - I just need to be accepted, ups downs, weirdness and all! Why is it so hard for people to manage that, when I think it's something that comes naturally?!

At times it is unbearable pressure, there are times that I think it would have done me good to go to the hospital. I just feel like that is not an option for me (unless I totally break). As far as fixing the bi-polar they don't so much. They just don't know how to "comfort" me in time of need and get frustrated they can't make me feel better. Then again at times I almost get infuriated for ppl saying they're sorry. To me it is an empty response.

I do have a lot of me time because I tend to "fold" into my own world when things are not needed from me. I don't go around my family outside of the home much because of this. Yes, being the "glue" of my family is taxing at times. The problem is I married someone that has no clue how to be a care taker (except financially) even though he does love me unconditionally. My daughter has been recently "umbrella d" under mental health issues which is probably bi-polar, but they don't want to diagnose her as so at her age. (Clueless as to why) And well my son has always been attached to me at the hip (probably more my fault then his). I guess knowing that if I don't take care of them and let this just happen I might lose my purpose that keeps me together . . . if that makes any sense.
