My birthday is May 6th; I have a T appt that day her & my husband are the only people can handle. I just got out of the psych ward, and then my primary Dr diagnosed me as menopausal. A week ago my parents invited me to lunch with my cousins. Iong story short I complained about my mom calling in the morning because I'd been up until 3am. My Dad, who never gets involved, said well I'm sorry we're such a bother. I went f'ing ballistic. They know I just got out of the hospital then turned around to menopause. I don't know if I'm coming or going my moods are so messed up and psych meds don't do anything to help a hormonal imbalance. So, I sent a polite text and told my Mom not to contact me until I got all my meds & estrogen straight. She went straight into a guilt trip because she's dysfunctional and doesn't respect boundaries.

So, it's just a crap situation all around. My parents think I'm not really mentally ill; I just need to get out of the house more/lose weight/join a church/get a part time job/stop being so dramatic & self absorbed/get over it and move on with my life.

I plan to just tell them we'll go out to dinner later or in June. Then I'll just mail a mother's day card. I am just having a really hard time getting dressed let alone being in public or groups. I hate when mental illness can impair a person to the point where everything is a potential disaster.
