My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Its not what you think. I just found out that my mom may be bi polar. She spends all this ------- money, sleeps weird hours, or not enough and she called the cops on me today cause she thinks im on drugs ( i smoke pot here and there but nothing more ). Well they came talked to me and my dad and basically agreed that she isnt well. Bipolar is what seems to be whats doing this but we dont know for sure. I googled that ---- and all signs point to it. It sucks cause i never that this would happen to me but i guess. I hate this and i have to do what i can to help her and my dad. My dad is also having a difficult time with this but after the cops came i think we all have to do what we can to help her through this. Anyone else have dealt with this in their immidiate fam?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Yes, my brother who just died was bi-polar.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

WOW, my bad. Still how did you guys deal with it? How bad was it when he wasnt on his meds?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Hasn't happened recently. Well...not since we moved out of the trailer park.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

He would go through periods were he wouldnt sleep, like a manic state, he would have great ideas and be on top of the world.
Then he would get really depressed and sleep a lot or go off for some time ranting.
Meds would sedate him so he would not take them consistantly or as prescribed.
Patience is needed when a family member is diagnosed with any mental health issue.
Having people to relate with is very helpful also.
Has she seen a professional yet?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Seroquel might settle her down.

I don't know what they prescribe for bi-polar folks, but seroquel is prescribed for people with manic episodes and acts like a mood stabilizer

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

So does weed.

I have an uncle that is bi-polar and he is on meds but still has to pretty bad highs and lows. My cousin (his daughter) has the same thing but she isn't quite as bad. She's on meds and is pretty stable.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Tell her to get zoloft, or call la migra. :8

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Since when does la migra carry meds? We are all legal mamon! come mierda :P

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

send her to a home

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

You should send her to a specialist to help straighten her out. How long has she been like this?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Recent onset? How close to menopause is she? Are there any overt signs of paranoia that might mean something other than bipolar?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

JD

HMT Resident Doctor

has a ring to it.

But back to the subject. I have an auntie that is bi-polar and alot of patience is needed. Make an appt. for a specialist to get a diagnosis before you jump to conclusions

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

I had depression when I was younger. For a few years as a matter a fact. I took prozak for a few months. I remember I was on those things and the sun was hot as ----. I walked in front of a truck completely in a daze.. Luckily I didnt get hit, but the guy who was driving and his lady wanted to ------- kill me. Anyhow the prozack sucked and I smoked weed instead and it made me feel a ---- load better. Eventually I just got over the depression "naturally" with pot. Start getting your mom high or give her some. Might help her cope.

What JD said makes a hella lot of sense as well. Menopause makes some women nuts.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

my neighbor was manic depresant and bi polar. she was crazy as ----. she chased the tooth fairy around the front yard with a butcher knife. my dad had to take it from her and stab a tree and tell her he got it to get her to calm down. she ended up getting cancer and dying last year. we pretty much adopted her to daughters. it tore there family apart. there dad was the first one killed in the famous luby's shootout in killeen texas if you wanna google that. niether daughter could stand to be around her at all. they dont even want the house she left to them. they both said no to it.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

My mother is Bi-polar schizophrenic :-\

As far as mood fluctuation they usually prescribe mao b inhibitors, or rather opiate derived dopamine antagonists. You could try to get her something along those lines to help. There are also an abundance of "natural" or rather non-prescription treatments for seretonin related fluctuation. I read up on it when I figured out what causes these kind of ailments, when I was little and I had discovered the internet. My condolences my friend, it's a terrible thing to see someone you love mentally decomposing.
Keep yo head up nigga.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

well, she is 46 and im not sure whether she is bipolar or a schitzo, either way its been getting worse. A while back she spent all this money on cars my dad didnt even need and he was stuck having to refi cause moms little scheme to make her own money never happend. luckily she only bought 1 of the 2 cars she wants and my dad was left with a 40k debt on a new 07 Honda ridgeline and various other bullshit purchases. This is why i decided to come home and help out financially for my dad and for myself. Mind you she has been weirding out a lot more and more since that happend over some months back.

So here i am living at home and paying rent to help. She come to where im staying. ( back house ) and goes trhough my ----. She then accuses me of doing cocaine. She didnt have the nerve to confront me so she tells my dad and i speak to him. I assure him that i'm crazy and not stupid and he asks if i ever smoke pot, to which i say yes. I dont see the need of hiding that. SO that was 3 weekks back and today she told me that me and my dad think we want her out of the house ( she told my dad yesterday morning she didnt want to live here naymore ) when thats not the case. She leabes yesterday in the morning and no one has seen her all that day. She call and asks my dad to pick her up from a friends house cause she doesnt feel well. I drop my dad off and he brings her back. Mind you she said she didnt want to live here anymore.

Today i get back from taking my son and my 2 little twin bros from the beach and my dad informs me that my mom has called the cops to have them remover me from the house cause she thinks im still on drugs and wants me to not influence my other 5 siblings to follow my bad habits. I then proceed to go to her room where she tells me she doesnt want to speak to me. I calmly ask her to tell me what her problem is with me ( my dad was behind me ) and she says "go away, the cops are on the way". I ask her why she called them and she replies " cause i dont want you hear anymore, you and your dad think im crazy". I then tell her that this is not the way to deal with me and she then tells me to take my ---- and go somewhere. There is more to the conversatoin i had prior to the cops getting to the house so ill stop here.

Cops get to talking to me and my dad and we both explain to them the situation with the mental state and how we think something isnt right with her. They talk to her and one of the officers indeed notices her odd behavior and advices us to be as understanding as possinble and to tkae her to the doctor ASAP.

She has a appt tomorrow and i hope they can help her. I dont know how well i can deal with this so im trying to vent via HMT. Its tuff on me and my dad, we both didnt see this coming and are now faced with trying to do what we can for her.

She hates my dad right now and dislikes me for whatever reason. My other siblings are doing what they can but most of them are young and only 2 are old enough to understand. Its hard when i have such a large family ( oldest of 7 ) and my dad is the only one who works. Moms is just moms and has raised us. Not to mention my son is 4 and comes to me crying that grandma doesnt want him in her house....wack!

Sorry for the long rant. this s hould have been in the 1st post.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

manic depressive, possible bipolar, no meds but beer, yes I'm an alky.

If I ween myself off beer, I become a recluse and will only go outside at night (ever noticed my weird hours of posting?) but just call it a "mind funk".......

With drinking beer, I limit myself to 6x16oz a day or less. I can and have binge drink, always the last one standing when drinking beer. If I buy a 12 pack, I'll drink it all in about 3 hours or less. If I buy a case I drink till I blackout or passout.

I'm not a fan of taking pills everyday IF I could afford any meds. Aspirin is about all I take and only rhen for a migrane.

I used to smoke pot, daily in 1999. It made my panic attacks WORSE so I quit a job of 14 years making 40k+/yr due to stress.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Jd is right and people just dont become Bi polar. Manic Depression has it is known is hardly something that is grown into. It is something you are born with


I myself was diagnosed with Manic Depression in my youth after seeing doctors starting at the age of 4. I was actually diagnosed autistic at the age of 4 due to never speaking and being socially withdrawn from my family etc


My parents didn't use that has an excuse to treat me has special or lacking. I actually begin speaking around 4 1/2 and my first words were construction worker


Years went by and I had social issues fighting not wanting to conform to school rules etc yet excelled in academics winning national awards in mathematics and sciences has a youth.


Now anxiety and mania are perhaps the worst things about it. Yet, controlling of it can be had. People just blame every action on a disorder. I have found this not to be the case.


My mania and depression were on set at there worse during my early 20's which I did use Lithium.That point in my life I can see why the suicide rate is so high with people who are BI Polar and honestly didnt think I was going to get out of it alive. Though logic spoke to me that yes Im a little nuts but was more upset with my life and current girlfriend more than anything. After the ending of that and getting back to reality and staying busy I dropped the drugs and havent used ever since


Now I do use natural ways which honestly I have felt work better than the Lithium ever did. I also always write/play music/build do odd stuff at my shop. This is what I think has made all the difference for me.I never once felt I couldnt do something


When I couldnt do something because my brain was telling me I couldnt, I overcame that fear. Bi Polar can easily grab people has it has me numerous times in my life and dealingl with mode swings for no reason sucks ass. But I have taught myself that really not getting caught up in the moment is the key. Once you start and getting in that Manic state of mind your FUCKED. You do ---- you wont remember nor things you said. You almost black out.


Basically your mom is probly bummed about her life and going through mid life criss. Along with menopause.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Yup, paranoid schitzophrenia FTW!!

It's okay, dude, my mom went batshit when I was 17, had a hysterical sobbing crying nervous breakdown within two years. By the time I was 25 she'd become some sort of Zen Mystic who'd settled all her bullshit and wasn't phased by anything. Be supportive, get her some help, sucks to be you right now but frankly you'll go through worse ---- X10 in your life.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

For what it's worth I have contact with this to an extent, not much useful I can tell you here than the following:

1) Somking pot means you ARE doing drugs, further more long term use of canabis ELEVATES highly the risks of developing bi-polar and other MH disorders, it's quite common from canabis use over the years.
2) Stephen Fry just made a great tv series about being bi-polar, he has it, and explored it and visited others. See if you can get a copy and compare symptoms/learn useful stuff.
3) MH issues are compount, additives and diet can be causal as much as mental state. Also stress is a factor, what kind of life does she have? Would a health freak say diet is perfect? You may be able to help out.

Good luck!

Greg.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

I go threw the same thing everyday with my pops and it sucks dude, i know exactly what you are going through. It sucks to go yoru whole life thinking you dad is superman and sometimes he just has bad luck. then you start growing up and realizing that the reasons dad has for not working or whatever are starting to turn into excuses. then all of a sudden its like 7 years later and my dad spends like 10 hours disassembling lawn mowers to take to the scrap yard. i say ---- like "Why dont you go get a job instead of burning 2 days fo work for less than half a days pay?"

Truth be told. i dont think he wants to get a job cause of his child support issues, he knows he will get to keep like half or less so he doesn't.

The day you wake up and decided that you do not like, agree or condone what your father is doing with his life, is a mind ----.

now he just got a 25 year old prego. best part is Im 25 and trying to have kids soon, so thanks dad now your prego girlfriend gets to be at my wedding and I get to have a kid about 1 year out from you. even worse is trying to deal with my dad without getting an out of control sense of resentment.

Hope it makes you feel a bit better knowing that others have twisted ass ---- going on too lol. wasnt trying to take away from your story, just wanted to share.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

I see a lot of bipolar people who get seriously fucked by blood sugar. Eat small amounts frequently, eat healthy, avoid empty carbs and unnatural sugars.

Greg, it's obvious you're a bright guy and you mean well, but you are a n00b and you haven't posted any ------- porn yet. Get with the program before you get hazed off the site. :)

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

My mother in law is Bi-polar, she's on quite a few meds and most of the time it seems to work. Every now and then though she drops off the deep end for a bit. A few weeks back she was utterly convinced there were bugs everywhere she went, and that they were biting her, when really the rash was from the medication she was taking. She wouldn't sleep in her own house anymore, was angry with her husband because she felt nobody would beleive her. It went on like that for two weeks and we were all starting to get concerned. Then one day she was fine, knew there were never any bugs, and hasn't had a problem since then.

I won't claim to understand it, but I guess the best you can do is be understanding, even when it's tearing you apart to see them like that.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

what is bi-polar? some sort of double personality thingy?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

here's an analogy for everyone:

happy/reasonable/normal is the ceiling in a room

batshit/erratic/crazy/nuts is the floor

mom's mental state is a rubber bouncy ball. throw the ball as hard as you can and there you have it.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Not quite. Happy/reasonable/normal is the middle, then there are manic swings both up and down.

I liked bipolar barbie dolls for years because they were able to wield an upbeat intensity that punched through my apathy and got my attention. After dealing with a half dozen crazy bitches I couldn't get rid of, I got over that sort of attraction real fast.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

1. im not on drugs, weeds is not a drug.
2. I havent done it in months
3. I love moms but this is killing me
4. Sucks to see my dad the way he is, He's tuff but he too has his limits
5. I too need to see a shrink.
6. What the ---- did i do to deserve this?

On another note, moms had an operation a while back. She had a tumor i believe in the pituatary gland or someshit. basically it made all her fingers and feet and various other body parts get all big and ----. her fingers and toes were super fat and they operated and succesfully removed the tumor. COuld it be that this too has effected her?

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Hmm.

Drug - Any substance, other than food, that is used to prevent, diagnose, treat or relieve symptoms of a disease or abnormal condition. Also refers to a substance that alters mood or body function, or that can be habit-forming or addictive, especially a narcotic.

Weed - cannabis: the most commonly used illicit drug; considered a soft drug, it consists of the dried leaves of the hemp plant; smoked or chewed for euphoric effect

Even caffeine is a drug, fyi.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

blah, explain to me why it grows from the earth??? if its soo bad then why dont i OD from it? I know if i take a ---- ton of aspirins that will be my last headache.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

lol, I'm just saying it IS a drug because it alters your state of being, thats all. You drink pepsi and you get hyper, thats the drugs taking effect on your body. IDC about marijuana, I think it should be legal myself but just saying, it IS a drug :P ;)

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Blah, drugs in my head are anything that is man made. I laugh when people say its a gateway drug. Bullshit! mostly to eating junkfood but thats about it.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Couldn't have said it better myself. You are a very insightful fellow there JD.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Hoolio is mexican, Danno. Weed is not a drug to him, it is air.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

She was nice to me when I was there but she would come in at the weee hours of the night just to be nosey. It had to be atleast 1 or 2 in the morning after I finally quit playing Guitar Hero and went to bed and heard her come in about 30 minutes after that. My mom went crazy on my brother for kicking out his girlfriend that he allowed to move back in the second time after she wouldn't pay any bills or helping him out even though she wanted to marry him and ----. He told her he hoped she gets ovarian cancer and dies. She told my mom and then came over and went ballistic on him telling him he was worthless and a failure as a son and a bad dad and ----. I think she's going through menapause as one day she stopped over and didn't even remember my son's name and even my stepdad was kinda like WTF as he even remembered it. It's just hard to see someone have to behave that way, let alone be it your own mother. :'( You know my number bro.

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???
 

Nicotine
Caffiene
Alcohol

Re: My mom called the cops on me today....nigga wut???

1 healthy diet
2 minimal dosage of drugs

5 women love support and understanding.

:)
