For about the tenth time since I've been diagnosed with BP II, I recently encountered someone who told me that I shouldn't let things bother me, just ignore it and don't think about it. I m having difficulty coping with my mothers alzheimers behavior. I want to spend time with her, yet when she lashes out my mind starts racing. I suggested my brother call the doctor so he could prescribe an anti depressant for her. That's when he advised me to just do what he does. "Just ignore it."I was frustrated, hurt and angry. How many times do I have to give an informative speech on BP. I've emailed info on it to all my family members and yet they still haven't been able to wrap their heads around it. Maybe I should have someone scan my brain and his brain to show the difference in brain activity.
