Hi Brianna!

A new DX of Biopolar is indeed difficult to accept, understand and learn to live with. I am 52 & was just DX last year, but have had early onset Bipolar since my teens. My history sounds a much like yours.

Sweetie, you CAN live & cope with this disorder: many people do lead productive, meaninful lives.

However, you you most important step is to see a Pyschiatrist on a regular basis for medications & Therapy. There are many meds that may control your mood swings...lessen anxiety & depression.
You did not mention if you were on..or have been on any medications...

If you Mom won't help you with the meds or discounts your condition, speak to your Doctor about this. Perhaps a meeting with your Mom may help ALL parties understand what you are going through.

Feeling weird is not uncommon...I am sure every Biopolar person on this site has felt that way at one time.

It's important that you know YOU ARE NOT ALONE with this. We are here to listen & support you as best we can...

Take care & keep in touch
