so im wondering if there is anyone out there that is or has been in my position.so my mother is suffering apparently from bipolar she refuses to take anything for it and she is absoultly driving me nuts. every two months she will pick a fight with me and only me!!! and she will harras me to the point of me calling the cops she will call me very bad names and tell me im a bad mom and this and that, then she will go on a trip to new york or somthing and come back and forget about everything that she has done to me. i dont like to blame my problems on anyone but for the last year i have been suffering from sever anxiety and i have narrowed it down to my mother. i can not get better fast enough with her doing this to me. i have tried everything to get her to treat me like a real person but she really doesnt care what so ever. she threatens she will kill herself on me for the last 12 years and now i am currently terrified of death. im wondering if anyone can give me a suggestion on how to go about this with her? should i get rid of her forever? what should i do? has anyone every had anything liek this before??? anywwayz anything will help me at this point. thank you

I'd have to say your mother should maybe see a psychiatrist. There's no reason for her to treat you like that. But it could be very tough to get your mother to acknowledge that she has issues. If you live separately, I'd have to say leave your mother some time to cool off if she calls being abusive. Remember you always have the power to hang up the phone. I had a girlfriend who was (i believe) was in a similar situation, she had gone to see a psychologist (for anxiety/depression) who had also been her mother's and her psychologist had told her if anything she needed to get out of the house and away from her mother.. hope this helps or gives you some new ideas on the situation..

Yes, I understand where your coming from. My mother's erractic behavior began when I was a child. Being dependant I couldn't just walk out, where would I go? I dealt with it until I was 16 and then shunned mom out of my life.
Things turned around when mom began to look inside herself, she realized she had experienced alot trauma as a young women (which led to bottled up emotional pain). I began to see a new women emerge when she faced those suppressed memories.
In many other cases as I've learned, its not always emotional distress that leads to mental disorders. New research actually shows that a B12 deficiency leads to a decrease in mental and nerve functioning.

My mission is to help as many people heal naturally.

Wishing you and your mother a new begginning of loving each other again!
