...That I'm bipolar. And I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not, that I'm just making this up in my head, but it's getting harder to do that... And I don't know what to do. Can someone help me? I'm young; I can't just go to a doctor without asking my mom to take me, and I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to tell her about my fears... I've tried to hide everything from her but now it's becoming impossible, and any time I let anything slip she acts like she's disgusted with me, so I'm sure you can understand why I have trouble telling her things...
But please help me, give me some advice, because this is terrible and I can't help myself anymore. |

...But the thing that confuses me, is when people say they have manic episodes, they say they show it around other people, and they take it out on other people. But I can control myself most of the time, enough to get alone where I can take it out on myself... But I can't hide it all the time, once I was told to change my tights and I had a tantrum like I was a child... gah... This is all so confusing; I wish someone would reply...

What about talking to a school counselor? They may be able to set something up at school OR refer you to see someone. The school is (well, should be) helpful in this situation, especially if you tell them that you are worried about your mom's reaction.

I talked to a counselor last year, but I wasn't /nearly/ as bad then. The couunselor only asked me back like, 3 times, and that's when I developed my fear of counselors. I dunno, that counselor isn't there anymore, and I've been considering talking to whatever counselor we have now... But it seems like all that our counselors are concerned with is high schools & everything.
I'm tempted now... because even if the counselor told my mom, it would be easier to have a counselor tell her than for me to. It would be better than my current tenchnique: Reading books about mental illness and hoping someone catches on. (Which is stupid and doesn't work.) But anyway, *hugs* thankyou so much for replying. |

If I had to guess I would say that the couselor is/was just busy. We have one counselor that must rotate to 5 elementary schools where I work. She doesn't have a lot of extra time. She addresses issues when she knows about them, but even then she is spread pretty thin. So try not to think it was your fault s/he didn't talk to you more. I encourage you to try again. If you are uncomfortable going to a counselor, tell a teacher you trust. Teachers often know how to get you into special programs or to get you help. Keep coming here and let us know what happens.

I also think that talking to the counselor at school is the best way to go. They might help you more than the previous counselor. It's better to try talking to them than it is to be miserable, right? Please keep us posted about you!

I shall!
School is canceled until Wednesday though (GRRR! It's because of the supposed gas shortages, and they can't use the buses, but they should at least open it for those who are able to make it) and I /strongly/ doubt I'm talking to the counselor so soon, but I'll keep you posted when/if that happens... |

I agree that talking to the counselor or one of your teachers is a good idea. They can help you with the next step, whatever that may be. Please know that you have a safe place here and keep us posted.
