First, I want to give you a big hug!. {{{ }}}
I know it's incredibly hard, but try not to hate her!. Hate her disease!. She is probably not aware of how bad it is!. It is very important that she takes medication if she really is bipolar!. Has she ever been diagnosed!? Can she go to a walk in clinic!? Is she willing to go or do you need another adult to get involved!? Definitely discuss this with an adult you trust - a family member, a teacher or counsellor!. This is especially important since she has made physical threats!. Your safety is very important!. Even if you don't think that she'd actually hurt you physically, just the threat is very emotionally damaging!. Please don't keep this to yourself!. You've made an excellent first step by posting here, but I can't get involved in the same way as someone in your town could!. Your school counsellor will know the right thing to do!. You may want to consider staying with a friend or relative until your mom gets treatment!. I wish you the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to get some help!. There are people you can talk to!. Tell a teacher or school counselor what is going on!. You can't worry about getting your mom in trouble, because there is a chance she could really hurt you!. It's not that she wants to, but she is sick and needs to be on the right medicines!. If you ask for help at school they are mandated by law to help you and your mother will get the help she needs!. Don't delay for your sake and for your mother!. You could tell another adult, but they might not be mandated to help you like a teacher or counselor!. Tell them what happens and the threats that your mother has made to you and what you are having to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am sorry and I understand!. I'm 38 and I'm Bipolar!. Sometimes it's hard on my family!. You don't hate your mom!. You are just frustrated with her!. I think you need intervention from your family!. When she acts crazy she's in the manic stage!. She is just going to have to wait for an appointment for her medication!. It's impossible to manage Bipolar disorder if you aren't on medication!. Just be patient with her!. I would back off when she says things that are scary!. Before I was diagnosed I was awful!. I denied that I needed medication for a long time and I would go off and on my medication!. I think that my ten year old daughter is Bipolar!. Bipolar is hereditary!. Good luck!. Hang in there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its ok!. If shes going to get medication, it will help 100%!. I have a girlfriend (Im gay) and her mom is bipolar!. She is a completely different person when she takes medicine!. Shes so sweet and giving and just so nice!. But when shes off her medicine all hell breaks loose lol!. But seriously my girlfriend went through a lot as a child because of her mom, and she learned how to forgive her mom!. Hate the disorder, dont hate your mom!. Its not her fault, she doesnt even know shes doing it!. She just needs help and medicine!. Try to be there for her, I know its hard but my girlfriend learned a lot from her mom!. She learned to forgive people and how to be strong!. Just love her!.!.!.!.and get her some medicine, it helps :) Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm bi-polar also, my daughter is grown and away from home now!. But when she was younger there were times I made her life a living hell because of my issues!. Your Mom will have to hit rock bottom before she will reach out and get help!. What you need to do is talk to someone, a guidance counselor, a preacher, a teacher, a policeman!.!.!. just someone with authority!. Please don't hate your mom, it's okay to hate the way she acts, but remember when she's acting this way it's not really her, it's her illness!. You have to watch out for you, don't worry about getting your Mom into trouble or anything like that!. Actually, if you talk to someone you will probably be helping your Mom because she will probably be forced to get some help!. Hope things work out for you!!

My mother has bi-polor as well!. She acted the same way!. She drank, and would burst into tears!.!.!. I suggest talking to someone about this, a councilor, try and have them give her help!.

This may sound a bit insane, but it worked on my mom!.!.

There is a song about Bi-polor!. When I showed my mother it, and asked her if this was how she felt, she agreed!. She may need to hear it for herself!. Read her the lyrics, show her the song!.!.!.
