Hello,

First off let me just tell you that I seem to be feeling rather "manic" and "crazy" right now.... nothing out the ordinary really.

The reason why I find it funny that I am posting in this is because honestly...NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. By this I mean, I have NO friends, just my family. I live with my parents (It's a long story). My parents have me on strict rules to pretty much not talk to them. They just don't want to hear what I have to say, or what I do say is just plain stupid. The only decent relationships I have are wih my wonderful nieces (My twins daughters) I cannot have children of my own, so I love them that much more! My mom is constantly undermining my authority consider9ing them and (they are 2 and a half and 5 moniths... they are my life!). She tells me I annoy her and I annoy them. I am very sensitive and I cry about this.....

What am I to do?

How can I develop other relationships? My relationship with my parents is obviously a litle bit hmm... how can I say this... it's just I can't talk to them at all, and I don't have anyone else to talk to either!!!!!!!!! I need SOMEONE to lend an ear and some advice. I don't know.

Is there no way you can move out and get your own place ? Just a small place ? Maybe there is help in the area where you live to aid you in this.

There must be somthing ...

I wish you well I truly do.

How does your twin feel about you (and you with her daughters)?

I assume your are seeing a therapist and doctor? Do either of them know of any support groups you can go to? I've met people in support groups that have become my friends.

What do you do outside your parents home? Work? School? Other interests?

That sounds like a poisonous environment, especially concerning your mother. Tishie's right- you need to start working on getting out of there.

Do you have a hobby? Communities often have groups for people with similar interests, and they can be a great way to meet people.

Get a cat. I'm not joking My cat my best friend sad but true. Most so call normal people just don't understand me .See the good things about cats are they don't talk so they cant put you down .They are like having a bipolar friend during the day they sleep wont move like they are very Dep. but at night they go crazy manic bouncing into walls .

But the best thing to do is meet other people like yourself . Find a club house or a group their out there you just have to look for them.Having friends that go manic and crazy makes it all seem ok .Lets face it we do some crazy %#@&#! ! You know it all seems OK once you know you are not alone .

P.S Don't trust dogs !!! I swear they can talk saw on U-tube
