My mom is also Bipolar and she's full of rage right now. She got in my face yelling. She was calm this morning and I don't know what set it off. She's paranoid because she says she's not going to see her psychiatrist, she says she can't trust anyone. I know it's our illness but I hate her right now.
I can't stop crying and now I'm so anxious. It doesn't matter how well I get because she always brings me down with her.

How old are you? Get out of the house. Go to the public library and stay there until it closes - it is a safe place. You also need to eat and drink to quell anxiety. Do you have pocket money? Do you know the phone number of her psychiatrist? Back to how old you are, because your options depend on your age. Going for a brisk walk would also quiet you down, but most importantly, do not stay in the same room with her.

I'm 34, I live with my parents and youngest sister whose 18. The worse is my 2 year old niece is over. She's never been like this when she's around. She's yelling at me and my dad primarily. I can't stop crying, it's like she sucks the life out of me.
It's almost 7, but I just want to crawl into bed and sleep it off.

Oh hon, I am so sorry. You need to find a way to get out when she rages. It isn't helping you. I wish I could provide you with a safe haven.

I agree with hamster, best way is to avoid head on collision with your mom and any other bad things that might come up without escaping the responsibility.

Do you love woods? Why not take a walk and try to see stuffs you never noticed.

The trick is, you see, to divert your concentration. Focus on something that draws your attention easily. Get the stuffs out of your head. When you are in the bathroom, try to see the texture and color of the wall, listen to the sound of the flowing water.

When you are not in front of your mom, the only place she is at is in your mind.

So, fill your mind with some other stuffs!!

God be with you.

I've been crying nonstop for an hour and half. In a couple of hours I went from feeling great to feeling so awful..I'm going to bed I hope I can sleep it off. I don't want to see her for the rest of the night. I asked my sister to try to give her seroquel, but I don't know if she'll take it. I can take her depressions and happy manias, but the rage tears me apart. I look at her and I don't see my mother, I see a monster.

Ok, you are old enough to have a conversation with her when she is not enraged. Tell her that you will try to commit her as a danger to others if she does not keep regular appointments with her psychiatrist and goes into rage again. Just calmly and matter-of-factly, tell her that she is not to test anybody's limits again. Express sympathy, of course, and don't sound judgmental or harsh, but simply lay out your plan. You can also write a letter to her psychiatrist if you know the name. The pdoc cannot tell you anything, due to HIPAA, but they can take input from you.

I am so sorry! I agree completely with Hamster. If nothing else, you can always call the police if she's scaring you or anyone else. It's a worry about your niece though and that could be leverage to have her admitted somewhere. My mania was also non stop screaming and violence so my family kind of "tricked" me into going to the hospital to keep me from being arrested. I don't remember much about it, but apparently I kept trying to leave, but once the staff saw how I was behaving, I got a Haldol injection and was immediately committed. I am extremely grateful for that now. When I look back I wonder who that crazy person that destroyed the house was. Basicially, there is hope. I'm still so sorry you're having to deal with that! I wish there was somewhere you could escape to.
