Congradulations on finishing school early!!!And i think its great that your helping your mom. i guess you got a crash course in what its like to owe bills and rent. i dont think this is a bad thing at all. yes its tiring...we are ALL tired. the only thing i can suggest is just put your shoulder to the wheel and keep on keeping on. if you can just hang in there a little while longer...your mom can complete her training and things will start to get back to normal.

but its excellant that you got a taste first hand of what your mom has been doing for years. its not easy. there are days we wanna stay in bed and pull the covers up ---jobs be damned.

but then you just hit the snooze and grab five more minutes before you get up and do it all over again. once you actually get moving its not that bad...not really.

i bet your mom appreciates your help alot too....your a good kid. your making your mother proud.

hang in there

when a person is bi-polar, they are usually in a depressed state --which is puncuated by periods of almost feeling "high"--happy-hyper--or manic-

theres also a couple different types of bi polar

its basically a chemical imbalance..which can be worsened by emotional trauma.

bi polar people think differntly and definitely behave differently

it can be controlled by medication --to a point. but sometimes it takes a long time to find the right combination of drugs that would work in any single case.

plus a bipolar person has to want to get better--some people are so far gone...or wont admit they have a problem.

you need to talk to someone about this. don't wait. its a very confusing condition but there is sooo much support for you out there.

if you dont see a doctor...at least research it online...go to chatrooms and listen to what people are talking about and see if you can relate. you might be able to get some real good advice( after you sift thru the b.s.)

good luck and take care

sounds like ocd.

obsessive compulsive disorder

those uncontrollable unwanted thoughts...it really sucks. have you developed any rituals? do you play little games with yourself?

they say it can be controlled by medication--but i think more can be done by sheer will. you just have to change the way you think--or find some way to relieve your anxiety that brings these unwanted thoughts into your head.

you need to get reprogrammed...lots of people get help from a professional...but i think alot can be done on your own ...read up on ocd...take the test online to see if you share the same characteristics.

sometimes just being able to name something...makes you feel better about it...they are soooo many people walking around with ocd and they dont even know it.

it can take on many forms...hand washing counting obsessive thoughts--touching items---repeating words...its endless...read up on it...if not just to rule it out as a possibility.

take care

Hormones suck don't they?

cheer up...you'll get it under control in no time. I used to be a crier too...i hated it ...made me feel weak. but crying is actually very cleansing.

i know you dont want to be walking around crying all day long.

if you feel that your out of control emotionally...maybe it would help to talk to your family doctor. i would only seek medication as a last resort...being emotional and hormonal is completely normal...some folks just are affected by it more.

but talk to your doc...he might be able to help or at least calm your fears.

take care
Louise
