Bi Polar and family
This is the most challenging part for my condition. My parents csant stand me anymore. The have been very different with me. My mom even told me to game a smile sometimes, but how can you when you don't even want to get out of bed. I wish they can spend just one day in my body and see what its like. I'm 36, and I don't expect her to baby me but at leads talk in an sensative way. She's always yelling at me, I'm pretty much alone and I guess I have to do this all by myself. Heres a few links, how they can effect a family. I just with my mom would read up on it a little but she has so much anger in her because of the addiction part.
