I think I'm bipolar but my dad doesn't believe me?
I agree with 'somebody'. I don't think you are bipolar. I am bipolar & I get mad about the littlest things, & I don't even realize they are little until later, after I replay what happened in my head. For example, in highschool I was got so furious when I got to class & someone was sitting in my seat talking to their friend. I was so mad that I punched the person at my desk. I get annoyed by the slightest things, the tv being too loud is a big set off for me. I can't tell you how many fights my boyfriend & I have got in because I just can't stand the tv too loud. Lol. I get overly excited, I can't think of anything other than one example at the moment. Pep rallys. I would get this surge of energy through my body & I wouldn't know how to contain it. & also, someone said you have to be manic to be bipolar. Not true, I have had elevated emotions & moods before I had my first manic episode. You don't have to have a manic episode to be diagnosed. But, if you go untreated a manic episode is bound to happen. I know you don't want to be bipolar, but I feel like you want an explaination as to why you feel the way you do. If your mom wasn't bipolar, do you think you would be thinking you are bipolar?? I think you are depressed and your moods are probably because of horomones. But, not bipolar. Which is a good thing. Lol. Being bipolar is always accociated with being "crazy". I'm not crazy, but to people who don't understand how I feel I am. My advice would be to talk to a school councelor or ask your dad to set up an apt with a therapist. They would be able to let you know if anything is wrong with you.
Please help - I think my dad is a pervert?
Hi. For the past 2/3 months I've noticed something very weird and strange about my father.. It makes me feel so vulnerable and weak and I don't even feel safe around him anymore. I am 14 turning 15 in a few months, and for the past 2/3 I noticed my dad is always starring at me in disturbing places, and the worst is that I always catch him and he quickly turns his eyes away. I've completely lost all my respect for him, since he doesn't respect me, and I try not to talk to him anymore. It's hurting me inside because he is my father and I can't believe he would do such a thing. It's like whenever I'm turned around he is looking (because I'd turn back and he will quickly look away from my bum). I also noticed he's always looking at me from the side windows (not sure how you call those) from the car, for example when he picks me up from somewhere, and when I'm walking to get into the car I can see he is looking at me. He always is. I don't know what to do anymore. At home I've started wearing long covered clothes and log coats to hide my body, but its quite annoying because before I just used to wear a simple top and shorts. He is just so weird. I've "tried" telling my mum but idk I don't want to make her panic or cause other problems. I just feel so nervous and vulnerable around him. He's so scary and sometimes it makes me wanna cry. Today I wasn't talking to him at all and he came into my room and asked me what was going on? Like if I had any problems at school or if anything bad happened? And I didn't even tell him, it's like what he does is normal, because he does it then the next second acts all normal,like he doesn't even notice he stared at me(or what he is doing is wrong). and i mean its not like he will rape me or anything like that but i just always feel weird around him now. please help me I feel so scared... What should I do? Serious answers please thanks.
My dad wants to die. Should I help him?
Okay, imagine this. Your partner is about to jump off a cliff, but you have time to stop them. Would you?Yes.Should you help your father? Of fucking course! He’s the reason you’re on this earth, and the fact that you’re contemplating not helping him when he wants to die is just stupid.Unless, he is suffering from an incurable disease and euthanasia is legal in your state. If he just wants to die, help him to change his view. If he is suffering, work something out with those close to you.

My boyfriend & dad don't get along, please help!?
Me & my bf have been together for 2 yrs(I'm 19 & he's 21) My dad & him got into an argument 1 yr ago; since then my bf hasn't come back around to my house. I try to talk to my dad alone, telling him please don't argue if he comes around again, and I try talking to my boyfriend alone, telling him to come over when my dad's in a good mood, to make effort to see my father. Now my bf is about to move into a place and I want to move in with him, BUT before that he still needs to make effort to see my father, because it's not right that my bf and dad don't get along, I wish they would FOR ME! My bf says he's still mad about last yrs argument, and I believe that if he wants to be with me, he'd make mends with my father. Now I'm stuck in between them, and have to hear both of them talk about each other, I just wish they'd get along. My dad is harder to talk to than my bf, but my bf is still hard to tlak to about it, what do I do? i want them to come around each other..it upsets me.
My mother is a narcissist. I believe she murdered my father by poisoning him. I cut off all contact with her (without offering a reason for my decision). My family does not understand. What should I do?
In 2011 a specialist in abdominal cancer asked my husband of 27 years to leave the room. What he told me I will never forget. I waited to be told that they had finally found cancer. I weighed 89 lbs and had been sick for years. Instead he told me to calmly leave with my husband calmly and go to a woman's shelter. He said, “I have been a cancer specialist for” ,I cannot remember, all I heard was “you are a long term victim of arsenic poisoning.” He said I had all the outwardly symptoms and under safer circumstances he would put me in the hospital but if I stay he could commit me and I had about a week to live. I found policies dating back to 1994 for commitment. He had with my daughters help been poisoning me with arsenic while she put meth in my epilepsy medicine. Two days ago I had the diagnosis of mentally incompetent removed. He was a psychopath. She may be too since it is inherited but I think she was so harmed by the insanity of his lies and my being sick her entire life. So I leave her alone.I was in the ER 27 times in 3 years. He was wealthy and the reality was he wanted me dead. I could go on about what he did in his secret life but he was a psychopath.I knew it was true when the Dr. said it. She pretended to care for me and stayed when he was removed. She was so positive he was innocent and it hurts to breathe just to describe her. Every morning I cry since mother’s day 2014 which is the last day I saw her. No one knew about the crimes, motive, but he fooled them into believing I was insane with her help meth and epilepsy made me just as ill. There is no doubt in my mind that if he had not died last year I would be dead. He was so dangerous to me and I could prove it but life is not simple and trying to make my daughter believe me was impossible. So I wait to hear things and long ago I forgave her. I know she is gone. I was forty when I had her. He knew taking her from my life was equal to my losing it. So Merry Christmas Katy Mor mommy loves you. I read the impact of a psychopath on the children. I can do nothing to change the past. I will wait who knows maybe one day she will realize no father would use his child. She will make no excuses for him or blame me for being sick. I tell people I have a daughter named Katherine and she is beautiful.
My dad has schizophrenia. How should my family and I help him and cope with his schizophrenia? (Please read the comment if you want more details.)
I can offer some 'biological based' orthomolecular medicine based approaches to dealing with the neurological issues that come with schizophrenia, here:Michael Goguen's answer to What is the best complementary schizophrenia treatment? i like the phrase 'persistence, not insistence', and that sometimes asking questions that lead people to answers themselves work better than telling people reality is different than they believe or perceive.It is important to be tactful, but being as honest as possible, or saying you would rather not answer certain questions, may be a better route to take than breaking trust by being deceitful with someone who is already paranoid. he may be having trouble reading people's emotions as well, caught up in his thought and ruminations.I think behavorial cognitive therapy can be useful, in particular just the practice of identifying our beliefs and questioning where they come from, and other possibilities, and meditation... the important bit of which is partly learning how to not be attached to certain unhelpful thoughts, and focus where we put our mind's energy, being somewhat centered, still, and calm, to make better decisions. Encouraging him to take some time before making important decisisons might help as well... so he is not just making those decisions with his reactive mind.
My Dad thinks I should dump my boyfriend what should I do?
If he's a nice guy, then don't do it. You might regret afterwards and I don't believe parents r always right.
