how do I explain to my mother that I'm mentally ill? Anonymage 05/04/26 (Mon) 10:57:34 No.228410

I've come to terms that this is my life, but she won't accept that I'm no longer that smart quiet kid who had potential to become a doctor or lawyer.
I clearly have the symptoms of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#Signs_and_symptoms except the bad ones.
>Psychotic symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations may occur in both manic and depressive episodes; their content and nature are consistent with the person's mood.[4] Approximately 60–75% of people with bipolar I disorder have experienced psychosis.
I'm part of the lucky 25% I guess, but I'm not normal. I tried to adjust so I can function in society, but I'm still a fuck up, and I'm not alone, many people have mental health problems for whatever reason.

Parents want to think they have a great one on their hands, their misunderstood special boy. I don't think there's a trick to it except for repetition until she gets the memo. Many never do. The older you grow, the more potential you see in people that was never realized.
