Welcome, ChadDuncanChiu. I'm not sure how to help, but I'm inclined to suggest you take one of your parents (or both) to your next psychiatrist appointment. Do you have an appointment coming up soon?

How ever things evolve, keep posting here. I'm confident we can help sort out confused thoughts. I know that many of us here can relate to your situation. For my part, I have family members who refuse to believe I have bipolar disorder. It's probably a little different for me though because I'm not living with any of the doubters.

With regard to the suicidal thoughts, do you have access to crisis support lines to telephone there in Hong Kong? I don't know what to recommend, but I would want you to reach out to some sort of professional help if you are feeling suicidal.


I have only a vague sense of the time difference between California and Hong Kong, and I'm leaving for work right now, but I'll check in with you when I get home from work. Take care of yourself.
