I haven't been diagnosed by a psychiatrist, but I can tell you I struggle with depression. There's even a possibility of bipolar 2, going for an assessment soon. Anyway, I have noticed in the past year almost severe mood swings. My depressive 'phases' are much worse and more obvious. Today I felt myself sinking back into depression. My mother also noticed this and asked me what's wrong. I told her I'm just feeling down, immediately her mood changed and I could tell she was irritated. It's always been this way. If I can't giver her an answer as to why I'm feeling like this, she gets irritated, as if I have control. And I can't help but resenting her for that.
My mother, generally, is a very kind and understanding person, but when it comes to this kind of thing, she gets angry with me. Like I told her my psychologist wants to send me for a psychiatric assessment, she was against it and very unhappy about it. I know I'm just ranting, but does anyone else have this problem when it comes to family?
I just don't know what to tell her to make her understand. I'm actually considering lying to her if I am 'officially' diagnosed with MDD or BP2..
