Usually on meds I wouldn't care if someone upset me because id be too damn numb to care. Well today my bf's mom said some mean stuff that I heard through the pHone call (he was sitting next to me). I started crying right away. And I made him take me home. He didn't even stick up for me to her. Then to top it all off, I texted him saying how hurt I was and said just said how his mom Hates me and that I can't deal with that in my life. Well guess who I accidentally sent it to?! His mom! Omg so I started crying more.

Usually a fit like this scares me that maybe my meds aren't working right. Very rarely do I ever cry. But I cry a lot when I'm manic.

Or is it possible I'm feeling real emotions that will past?

I definitely get a lot more sensitive to what people say about me/annoying situations in general when I'm feeling hypomanic. I remember being at a large gathering with my boyfriend during the fourth of July, and getting extremely angry when a lady shoved past me. Normally it's something I would let go and be pissed off at for only a second, but I really had to hold myself back from reacting stronger. Lots of things were irritating me that day...I started crying when the fireworks only lasted for 15 minutes, for example. People were looking at me weirdly and that made me even more upset. Everyone is different but I wouldn't disregard your strong reaction, either.

I think it could be a normal reaction! Who wouldn't get upset in that situation? Especially the last part about the text message... Oh you poor thing.

RXQueen875 - My mom did the same thing to my wife. Ugh!!! She still brings it up when she thinks of my mom. Guys tend to run from confrontation such as this. It doesn't mean he doesn't love you. I didn't stand up for my wife either. Man if I could do it over again. Mother-in-laws usually don't think there is a woman good enough for their boy. I really wish parents would think about what they do or say before they do it. That type of damage is usually permanent. There will always be resentment. Do yourself a favor and forgive her. It will help you heal. She may never "approve" of you but your boyfriend obviously does. Good luck with everything!

This sounds a lot like my husband and our situation with my mother-in-law. Well said BleakGeek!
Thanks for this!
