So, my mom and I finally had 'the discussion' today about my MI and she's in complete denial. She claims she knows me better than anyone and that what I'm going through is just a bout of depression because I'm going through 'the change'. I was almost in tears. She's the one who brought up the subject as she must have seen some of the books I've been reading about bipolar disorder. I tried explaining to her that just because I don't have the mania symptoms that my aunt has (she's got BP1) doesn't mean there's something more than just depression. Hell, she knows I was sued by a credit card company and they've now started garnishing my wages until it's paid off. Needless to say, my heart hurts and all I wanna do is cry but I can't because then she'll feel guilty as if it were her fault that this happened to me. I don't know what else I can say or do. She said she wishes she could talk to my t and pdoc and get them to understand her point of view about the whole thing.
