Title: My Mom and Depression
Post by: Ranman on May 07, 2006, 05:13:00 pm

Well... My mom has been diagnosed as bipolar and manic depressive for at least 15 years now. :(

And today... My sister called me to inform me that my mom tried to commit suicide... by downing 150 pills of assorted kinds. :(

If she makes it... There is a chance she will lose all kindey functionality and potential brain damage... And that is if she makes it. :(

In her manic states, she is too scary to be around. Not to mention that she hates my wife. I have a little girl too... 22 months old. I have chosen to protect my family from her. Hence, I have not spoken to my mom for over a year now. My little girl probably does not even remember her grandma. :(

Anyway... Emotions are high right now. I pray that I can handle this situation as is develops. This is a sad situation from every angle that you look it. :(

Yeah... for me it sometimes feels like just a switch was toggled, fast mood changing is not good... And I still gotta find what toggles it >_<

I don't really know what it's like to be depressed (though some lousy middle school guidance office guys think I do. :angry:)

Thanks guys for your concerns and/or prayers!

My mom is doing better. Physically she is okay, but mentally she is not. She has been transferred to a mental institution for monitoring.
