Thanks guys, and thanks for not BEEPing at me..

Yeah I guess I do have the patience of a saint compared to some people, but that's only because I know that she can't help the way she is. Yeah, she takes a whole bunch of meds but one drawback of them is that they make her M.E. worse, and so she's depressed about that.. She can't lead a normal life anymore, can't even work, can't even go out for a walk without somebody there to catch her if she passes out. So yeah, that's what keeps me from saying stuff I regret, although occasionally I do let a few nastey words slip, but nobody's perfect, right?

I think alot of people refuse to take conditions like bi-poler, depression, anxiety, etc seriously because they're hard to spot and can easily be faked.. But when somebody has something like this it doesn't only effect them, it effects everybody around them.. I guess there was no need for me to make this thread, I've been dealing with this for years and it's not going to get better, it's just that sometimes I don't feel like I can take any more and I have to blow off some steam. I appreciate Cann.com and all of you guys for being here for me.
GHoSToKeR Reviewed by GHoSToKeR on . How do I deal with this!? I'm 20 years old. I still live with my mother because I'm a student at a local college, and I will be for the next year and a half, until I go to university. We have a good relationship, except that for the last few years she's suffered from a number of - I don't know what to call them - disorders I suppose, like depression, anxiety, bi-polarity, ME, and more.. My question is to anybody who lives or has lived with somebody in that condition.. After years of trying to be as calm and helpful Rating: 5
