Hi,
I think my mum has bipolar as I have read up on the symptoms and she ticks every box. Me and my dad have tried to mention to her she may need to get some help, but she thinks we're ganging up on her and that we think she's insane. I really want her to get help but I need to get through to her! Any ideas?
Thanks, Beth
I don't wanna sound stupid but what bipolar exactly?
Bipolar is where you can change moods more or less instantly from depressed to really really happy or extactic or the other way around. Sometimes you don't need a trigger, or anything to happen to start it.
the doctor thinks ive got bipolar.. but being under 16 doesnt help.. you cant get treatment. I hope your mum gets some treatment or something because i would kill for some
My dad has bipolar, he agreed to get his head checked.
Tell her you loveher and youre concerned for her and that getting checked won't do her any harm and she could benefit from a visit from her doctor
Hope it goes ok xoxo
Hello ,
You say that your doctor thinks you have bipolar and you say you cant get treament because your under 16 just to let you know you have the right to get treament you should not have to cope alone and your gp should be getting you treament and help and support with this . Did you go to see your gp alone with out a parent because sometimes you do have to be 16 because they say its the law ? . If you did not go with a parent how about talking to your mum or dad and get them to go with you to your gp this may help as they can put you in touch with mental health people what can help you and provide you with the right support . I know it can be scary at first to talk to parents , doctors etc because its the first hardest step i was scared at first to be onhsit to tell them everything . . I have been wating 1 year and half to be dignosed propley but in the end i said to myself if i dont tell them the onhsit truth then they will not be able to help me so now i am telling people at CAMHS which is mental health workers and i am receving help and on meducation and having thearpy with my illness , i still dont no what illness i have but on my next appoiment there going to tell me the type of illness i have because i have told them the truth and confinded in people who i can trust .
Try and talk to your parents and get them to go to your gp with you if u cant talk face to face maybe write it down for then this will be alot easier if you dont feel confident talking to them .
TELL THEM THE OHNIST TRUTH , YOU DONT HAVE TO COPE ALONE !
Here if u want to talk some more about this !
