So here's the update on the last blog...it took long enough |
So my roommate and I finally talked and realized that this guy wasn't worth our friendship. So we decided that if anything were to happen, it's gonna be his choice and his alone and we'll accept it and be happy for the other person. About time. So the reason I was the way I was in the last two blogs has to do with me being bipolar. I can't take meds for it, because as soon as my mom found out, she would drag me home so fast I wouldn't know what hit me. I know I'm 21...but she would find a way. So last week was my first real down since Christmas. It has come and gone and I am happy to say that I feel better. Now onto the boy situation. We've been hanging out with him a lot. It's been awesome getting to know him, and even if I never get to date him, it'll be awesome just to have him as a friend. I've known him for a week and it's like I've known him for years. So I thought all was good. Last night Sara and I went out with Cody and were out til like 4 am...which was a lot of fun. That's the first time I've had that much fun in a long time. Don't get me wrong...I have fun with my other friends...but they don't get me the way Sara does and Cody and his friends do. For once, I'm not the outcast. But at about 2 am, my roommate called...the one who drinks. She #####ed at me for being out that late...but didn't say anything about Sara being out late. It doesn't make sense. People are stupid when they drink. No wonder I don't do it that often.

Now that's healthy! Communication is key my dear
me being bipolar. I can't take meds for it, because as soon as my mom found out, she would drag me home so fast I wouldn't know what hit me Whoa! Not tell MOM? I think you should sweetie, As a Mom myself I would want to know if my child was need in of medical care. This is not something to take lightly, your family needs to know. My oldest suffers from severe migraines and is on meds while my youngest is sensory( off the spectrum of autism ). Now I know I can't tell you what to do, but please consider talking to a counselor or someone .....Take care.

I know I'm 21...Since your 21 how can your Mom drag you home. You should get the meds you need then, like va2 says, counseling/advice would be best on how you & your Mom can deal with the situation while your away at school.
it's gonna be his choice. That's the best course to take...keep us posted..if necessary.

That's wonderful. There will always be guys who come and go, but some friends are forever. Before I did not know how close you and your friend were, so I could not tell you what to do in terms of that friendship...but I'm glad to hear you two worked things out.

Does she know that you are Bipolar? In many cases (I think in all cases it is) this is inherited from another family member. If she does not know, she should, and she should understand your wanting to get help in terms of meds and/or counseling. I see kids all the time with "mental health issues" (i.e. depression, ADHD, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc), and it is not always "pretty." (Cont...)

Now, I do not work in psych, but I do see them in other settings...and they need help. I have had bad allergies all of my life, and was diagnosed with asthma about 6 years ago (and have been on different things to help control it). I also suffer from migraines (got them from my grandmother), and take things whenever I feel one coming. These are things that do not go away, so seeking help is the best thing. Hopefully your mother will understand...and I hope you do.
Sorry for taking up so much space...I guess I had a lot to say

Bipolar, eh? Drugging yourself up isn't fun, but it can really help to prevent the condition worsening, which could cause even bigger problems in the future. I don't take any medication myself, but I think it's probably best in the long run.
Sometimes drunk people are good for a laugh, like when they fall into unconsciousness and you can balance things on their heads or draw on their faces, and then take photos. I myself have been virtually tee-total since last Hogmanay - even at my sister's 21st birthday party - and I have no regrets about that. At least I can remember that particular event.

Wow, sounds like alot is going on in your life! I totally understand the annoying drunk thing. People just aren't themselves when they drink. Also, my little (well, not so little anymore!) sister is bipolar. It's been a difficult road, especially since she was improperly diagnosed as a young child. would tell someone in your family ASAP and get the medication you need, because most of the problems my sister has are the result of not having proper treatment until recently. Being bipolar is extremely difficult to understand- more difficult than most people think. My sister is still figuring things out but has emerged as a very strong person, so take heart! Best of luck!

Wow, good luck sweetie with the guy thing. As for the health thing, you need to get the meds. Your mom must be the holistic type, huh? Well, you are your own person now and get to make your own decisions. I wish the best for you and hope to hear more about your happenings.  Since my younger days have passed, I'd love to re-live them through you and maybe even offer some girly advice when you need it. Take extra good care,k?

That's great that you and your roomie worked things out. Sounds like you guys handled it very well.
you are your own person now and get to make your own decisions.
Absolutely. I'm not a psych professional, but I know a bit about the field, and if you're not seeing a professional about the bipolar issue, I strongly encourage you to do so. From my understanding, without medication, your condition could decline. I wish you the best, and you know we're all here for you.
