Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm so glad to find all of this. My mom was constantly diagnosed through out my life with bipolar. She's been in and out of instutions as long as I can remember. A close friend of mine who works in a psychiatric hospital suggested that my mom might have been misdiagnosed all of these years and asked me to look up BPD. This has been an eye opener. " I always wanted to be normal " I see that statement everywhere and GOD do I know what that feels like. I (and my family) always felt so crazy. My mom could change from Super mom in public to a nightmare in the house. So many things I don't know where to start. She was a cutter, and even when I was small I remember her making us look at her cutting herself telling us it was our fault. I never knew what I did. I went from an overachiever to not caring at all. You can never please her. I'm in a messy situation with my mom right now. She's unbelievable. I love her so much but I can not handle much more of her. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I now worry constantly that I'll make the same mistakes with my children. I love them so much that I don't want them to doubt one minute of my love. Dont know what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi cutie-Mim First, my heart breaks for you - my mothers LBD Surfaced when I was in my 40s and although it was tragic - she was able to see her grandchildren and care for them in a meaningful way for a long while since my bro and I married and had children young ' so I especially understand how devastating LBD with a mom is when you r just beginning the prime of Your life which generally should be a chapter filled with great excitement and joy !! How is your father holding up? Also has she been put on the right medications so as to delay some of the worst symptoms and also be on guard and check thru the archives of this site to see what Meds could make the disease worse!! Whenever this disease hits and whomever it impacts in family there are always feelings of grief and sorrow that at times are unbearable!! Suggestions for you: try to find a good therapist/ counselor / clergyman who u see on a regular basis Also check to see if there are any LBD in person support groups in your area!' Most of all - take care of yourself and preserve your bond with your husband- enjoy the kids - and strive for the work u love !! You sound like a devoted daughter and it looks like your parents longed to have you- at the same time I bet you your mother if she could express it would want u to go On with your life with all the good energy amd success that is part of these new beginnings!! You are not alone and u have found a Good place to lay your head and heart when the going gets tough !! I'm thinking of you!! God bless your mom and your whole family!! Judy Judy R.

I'm new to this group, so I will give you some background about me. My mom was diagnosed almost a year ago with LBD. She had been showing various signs for over four years now after she had a knee replacement surgery that went horribly wrong. She is only 64. My parents adopted me when they were older therefore making me only 26 right now. So I was just wondering if there is anyone else here in this group that is young like me and going through this, because I'm really struggling with this. I'm at the age where I'm just starting my life, getting married, having kids, finding my forever career; and I feel like I don't have my mom anymore to be there for me. Can anyone else relate? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
