I think she thinks I'm making it all up. I recently met someone who has bipolar 1. He and I spoke about it at some length and that's what made me think about it. I recognized a lot of what he described in myself, that's why I went to get help. But I think my mother believes that I've just got a new idea in my head and I'm looking for attention..
So I still don't know how to handle it. I don't know if 'educating' her about it will really help..
Did your psychologist explain the short and long term risks of the medication to you and discuss what alternatives might exist? - vital
Thanks for this!
