Mum had depression/bipolar
13 year old female
At the end of last year I found out my mum had depression and bipolar. We also found out that her medication wasn't doing what it was supposed to be. She got really down at the start of this year and had to change her medication. She had to be off her old medication for a week and in that week I got so stressed out it felt like she was angry at me and only me. I am glad that part is over.
When she got her new medication it took a while to work. That bit was just as stressful as when she wasn't on the medication. Me and my mum got to a point where I wouldn't come home until I wanted to.
On top of all that my friend was going through a stage were she was getting bullied by these so called popular people and I had to help her as well as my mum. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
While mum was going through what she was, I stopped eating and I lost too much weight. Now I am eating more than what I was but I am still getting yelled at for it. I really want things to be the way they were a few years ago.
Now I have counselling. It's lots better to get things off my chest. I was scared to go at first but now it's good. I know I can talk to my counsellor about anything just like she was family or a close friend and now it's getting better. Thank you for reading my story.
