Question: Dose anyone with a disability have the same reaction from people my sister has!?
My sister has a bipolar disorder and sometimes she has psychosis!. She also has anxiety and depression!. A lot of people in the family tell her she is a lazy 32 year old!. They told her,( and they honestly believe) she makes up all her symptoms!. She has a social anxiety disorder and she has a hard time warming up to people!. It drives me crazy because I feel like I am the only real family she has!. She lost her children to the state for not being able to do well enough with them!. She refused meds and would not see a therapist!. I think she refused so much because so much of the family told her doctors dope you up with meds so they can have more money!. My step mother is the most hateful of the bunch!. She told my sister she
would have gotten her children back if she loved them enough to keep a job!.
Dose anyone have the answers to how I can help her help herself!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

well I guess I should drop dead not that I believe in Bipolar I don't know you or your sis but shame on you for picking her apart!.
As far as having kids and all that I am not going to judge her life!.!.she's obviously had it rough!. A lot of people in the family tell her she's lazy - maybe it's because inside they too have problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think if anyone has a right to go off the deep end it is those that are treated like she has been!. I am bi-polar, and I heard it all too, till I was diagnosed, then they understood, but it sounds like your fam is a very selfish group of people, that may need pschiatric help!.you and your sister are excluded,I am glad she has your support, as Bi-polars suffer a great deal of lonliness and are keenly aware that they are misunderstood!.
That must be awful, to go through life without anyone seeing the real you, no wonder she is developing new illnesses, i think the rest of the family needs the psychiatric help!. The step mom needs a Heart transplant!.!.!.!.Ill keep you in my prayers!.
oh!.!.!.that one that said shame on you must not know what it is like to deal with a Bi- polar person!.!.!.!.I drive my fam crazy too!.!.!.lol!.!.!.they need a medal for endurance, as do you;)Www@Answer-Health@Com
