My 35 yr.old daughter has not been to a pdoc but has classic symotoms of bp and it is in family,she was dx'd as "possible bp" by a therapist she no longer sees. I also see by these suppotive discussions that maybe, I too may be. We don't have health ins. so big problem, but I just want to find out all I can here. One ? is when we try to have a normal conversation it always turns angry and insane she takes and hears something totally different than what I said or meant, even if it is hi! it is interpreted by her as oh God, I can't believe you said that, it's insane". just ex.... there are so many other symptoms, but is this one of them?

Without trying to point fingers, i will say yes to your question..
Its like a common trait that no matter you say or do, they never see your side of it.. they have an different way to thinking and seeing how things work.. My X is always telling me I am wrong. I just got done talking to him, and he made some statements. I told him its his disorder talking not him .. And well he went off on me, saying that I dont know nothing, its not bp at all.. that this is him.. which he is his disorder and the disorder his him.. its hard i know it is, to deal with and get thru their heads at times when they really need help.. he told me he'd cut himself on X mas and has the want to do it now. I tried to talk him down, but the more i talked the more wrong i was.. sometimes no matter how hard you try you just cant fight enough.. its like trying to take down a brick wall 4feet think with only your bare hands. .. you cant break thru it, but you can climb over it.

Hi Blues,
Do either of you work? If not, and you are diagnosed with bipolar or any other disorder which is what keeps you from holding a job, you may qualify for soc. sec. disability. Even if you do work, you might qualify for state sponsored health insurance, and presc. drug plans, or the Walmart $4 generics, and perhaps there is a community mental health clinic in your area. This is not a healthy atmosphere for anyone, and the cycle will continue with the grandchildren if this is what they see as acceptable ways to behave. Maybe this thought will make your daughter be willing to seek prof. help. Try clicking on the post I made yesterday about Coping: Detachment. That entire website has useful info
