Hello. I'm 14 and I think that I'm bipolar. I have really bad periods of mania and depression. All my friends think that I'm crazy. And I'm kind of scared to tell my mom that I think I am because I don't think that she will believe me. Me and my mom have always been very close, but I don't think that she would belive me about it. Sometimes things just seem so hopeless because it seems like there's nobody I can talk to about it, much less get any help whatsoever. I also experience periods of severe paranoia. On regular days, I'm paranoid. Sometimes I just feel hollow...and then I get really depressed. My friends don't believe me, they just all move away from me when I start to get depressed. So, I pretend to be happy all the time, even when I'm not. Then, later on, whenever I'm alone, I get all depressed because I feel like there's nowhere where people are going to believe me about having bipolar disorder. That's why I joined here... There was another website that offered help, but it was for $85 dollars and since I'm only 14, don't have that kind of money. [And even if I did, I don't have a credit card, checking account, or PayPal.] But anyways...I'm new here..and I'm hoping for some help here...so..thanks ^_^
I know how hard it is to deal with childhood, or early teenage, depression. I'm 17, but I joined here when I was 15. There are some minors around the site, but mostly adults.
It's really hard to get people to believe you, I understand. Maybe you should try letting your mom in a little at a time instead of shoving all of it at her at once. If you push it... well, my mother just about had a breakdown when I told her everything. Try to gradually explain everything. If you want her to believe you, don't sound farfetched. Be calm, and explain carefully.
I hope to talk to you again soon.
