Or, "I'm not interested in paying for your depression habit, but I guess I have no choice." Whenever I talk about a mental disorder (I'm really interested in psychology) she thinks I'm trying to self-diagnose myself, even when I'm not. She also refuses to admit I might have bipolar, even though my psychiatrist just diagnosed me with a hypomanic episode. She still thinks it's depression. I love her, and she's really a great mom, but I don't know how to deal with this problem. Am I being paranoid? Should I talk to her about it (I think I'm too scared for that)?
Also, she doesn't like that I'm on meds.
Any response would be welcome,
-Sam.
