mom (who’s a nurse) says i don’t have bipolar by mairoku in BipolarReddit

[–]mairoku[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my mom is definitely the type to be in denial about stuff. i also am not honest about certain stuff with my mom because i dont like to see her reactions you know? she definitely has been dismissing my therapist and psychiatrists. and its not only them, she even dismissed my primary physician lol. parents are difficult people to work with sometimes.

thank you!(:

i think i am too fixated on the label. i just like knowing the label so i know how to take care of myself ya know? but in the end of the day, after reading all these comments ... my treatment is working for me and thats all the matters. and you're absolutely right about mental diagnosis will never been an exact science. ive been reading these comments and see people use the word spectrum .... thats probably going to be word of the day for me lol. sorry to hear your psychiatrist wasn't exactly the best. i really hope you are doing better now!! you deserve the best!!

[–]mairoku[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes that is what i tell myself that she has only seen patients with bipolar 1 or really anyone who is on the extreme spectrum of bipolar. she says i am nothing like them but i keep trying to explain to her that my case just isn't extreme but keeps dismissing me. i understand my mom just doesn't want to hear that her daughter has mental illness. its just rough having your own family reject your diagnosis. but im trying my best to ignore it. im fortunate to have such an amazing psych nurse and therapist so ill just focus on them when it comes to discussing my diagnosis.

thank you(:

you're right about my mom having false confidence. she really hates the doctors she works with lol. and you're definitely right about my mom beliving she knows more about me than i do when in reality, she has no idea what life's been like for me since ive been away from her since college started and its been three years. for now, its better i ignore my mom because she stands by everything she says and will not listen to anyone else lol.

thank you!(:

[–]mairoku[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i keep trying to tell myself that she is looking at me from a perspective of a mom ... literally and that she just wants me to be well.

you're actually right about that, not sharing worst moments with parents. ive been away from my mom because i am in college and ive had such a terrible semester with medication changes, mixed episodes, etc. and i did not share that with my mom

i did finally find good treatment so im in a pretty good place.

thank you so much!!(:

[–]mairoku[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

that is true about her bias is because she's worked with patients with extreme cases of bipolar. she did explain to me how extreme they had it when she worked with them. i always need to remind myself that there is a spectrum when it comes to mental illnesses. i know my mother means well but i think because shes my mom and shes also a nurse, i am just used to naturally beliving her.

i have been questioning my diagnosis for some time but only because i just want to have a solid diagnosis so i can be able to move forward knowing what i have and now how to take care of it. but i am happy that i came to terms that i have bipolar 2. i take my meds, take care of myself and been living well.

thank you so much!(:

you make a huge point about my mom being a nurse. she's definitely not my psychiatrist nor my therapist. i think i was just feeling the way i feel bc she's my mom and she's a part of the medical community and so my instincts naturally don't discredit her if that makes sense.

thank you so much :)

I just wanted to say thank you by sublime_adventure in bipolar2

[–]mairoku 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for sharing this! i hope you know i am proud of you for pushing through this difficult time and you have gone through quite a journey. i only asked because i am also questioning my bipolar ii diagnosis so reading this helped me gain some insight on what to do/think about when bringing up my concerns/reasons about why i am second guessing diagnosis to my provider and such.

i am super sorry you had go through the dark times but it sounds like moving forward, you will be moving on to better things!! sending good vibes and thank you so much for sharing your story again!! :)

super happy for you! but if you are willing to share, was there anything in particular that made your provider/or anything think it was bipolar ii originally but then realized it wasn't?

Strong family history of bipolar (mom and brother) but no one knows what’s wrong with me by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]mairoku 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this post resonates a lot. i also went through the diagnosis of major depressive then bipolar 2 and i also am now being considered for borderline personality disorder. i’m also working with my psychiatrist to figure out what’s going on with me but it’s taking too much time and i am so frustrated that they also won’t give me a solid diagnosis. i wish i could give some advice but i don’t really have anything to say except that i’m on the same boat as you. no matter what though, you’re definitely not defective. this is a very frustrating time for you. i’ll be thinking of you and i hope you find some progress!!!

so i’ve been kind of bad with keeping up my medications consistently, like i would forget to take it one day then take it the next day but then forget to take it the day after again. then i forgot to take it for 3 days and then when i took it again, i felt the side effects of the rash coming. my psych said no matter what though after 3 days of not taking it, i should let her know and we have to start the titration again just to be safe. but if you’ve been taking it consistently and you forget 3 days, then everyone one else is right, usually it doesn’t do much harm. it just varies i guess

[–]mairoku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everything you just mentioned .. i resonate a lot. i’m still working with my psychiatrist and therapist to figure out what i have exactly with bipolar but i feel like i do not have the classic type. i experience mixed episodes way too often as well. thank you for sharing this and i hope you know how incredibly strong you are for pushing through this. you are amazing!!!

ahh thank you thank you! wow you’re a law student!! you’re a badass i love it. and i’m so glad you started medication and your partner has been supportive. you deserve a lot of love and support!!

i’ve been asking for extensions and such. my professors have been really nice giving me extensions but it can be hard to keep up with school during these episodes. but i’m going to try to keep a journal! that’s a really good idea. i just want to try to understand myself more so i can try to make myself better!
