Arghhhhhhhhhhhh gahhhhh ! The old "chemical imbalance" .... Well since you cant rewind the time and change the channel before she even sees it .. I guess just try to avoid avoid avoid the topic if at all possible ... Maybe just suck it up and let her ramble on about it and nod here and there and hopefully the topic will be become boring to her quick enough... Your a grown woman... Do what you think is best for you.

Thanks. I did try to explain myself though, because that is my compulsion lol.

Can you agree to therapy every two weeks and slowly phase it out? Ie. 2 sessions @ 2 weeks, 2 sessions @ 3 weeks,2 @ 4 weeks, 2 @ 6 weeks, 2 @ 8 wks, 2 @12 weeks, 2 at 4 month, than regularly every 6 months.

Honestly, I don't really have time and money for that and I have no strenght right now to be dealing with the system.

Then I brought out the big guns, printed her a bunch of my posts and made a deal; if after reading those she thinks my experiences are normal we never mention Bp again and I will accept I don't have it... If not, she must STFU about her opinions... ��
Hopefully big pharma will exit your house soon.
Ps. She found my threads disturbing and couldn't sleep for days. ��

Mom doesn't know like 80% of what goes inside of my head. Not sure I should ever tell her. I guess my thing would be to appear as functional as possible, which can be hard sometmes... especially since my mom's definition of functional means sleeping in night, eating regularly and not joking about molotovs and burning tires and defenestrations each time I watch the news channel.

I would either print out some information on BP or maybe give her some good websites to look at with correct information. I know trying to explain this disorder to someone that doesn't have it is one of the most challenging things I've ever tried to do.

Problem is she doesn't speak English so I cannot link her to Icarus, Mad in America, Altmentalities or Beyond meds. Plus she tends to get into "TV told me so" mindset at times. Maybe I can find some alternative source in Czech.
(funnily, she is so very alternative. Half of our library are herbaries and she thinks I use too much "artificial" cosmetics, that I should just make my own from stuff found in meadow and bought in healthstores.........)

It is chemistry. The human body is basically a biological battery. We run on chemistry.

That does not mean I am defective chemically. Hey, I act less crazy and stupid that most people who fall in love.......... and that is not called a progressive illness, even if it's been proven that falling in wub lowers your IQ. (Fun fact? I seem to be incapable of falling in love with a person. I have crushes, sure. But I fall in love with whole countries. The more troubled, the better...............)

Venus,
chemical imbalance usually goes hand-in-hand with hereditary, no?
So you can turn the tables and say that she has to get help. Hopefully she will shut up on this issue then.
Also, if the kindling theory is true, there is more urgency for HER to get help than for you because you are young.

that sounds great, especially since i suspected for long time that I gotten some of crazy from her (mom blames father's side. Nice of her, since most of them are
dead.)
I might use that though.

Has your Mom gotten over it all yet? (((Hopeful)))

right now she is focused on my political activism, of which she is strangely approving.... eventhough i suspect if something gets me in trouble it will be my camping in Prague's downtown and not untreated bipolar. Maybe to her that (and the fact that I in fact can hold a job and all that) is a proof that i am not flat out crazy yet.
Though who knows. Camping on cobblestones can drive one manic, eh.
