Confused about mother

My mother has a problem, I think shes bi polar but im not sure, one day seriously she can just be calm and sweet, and in a split second be screaming at me slamming doors. She has a very big problem with talking too long and very anxiously. If you joke around with her, but dont say anything mean that just has to do with something she did once, she takes it seriously and gets so angry, and when you say you were just kidding, she immediatly starts saying no you werent, no you werent, f you! (slam) she always brings up something depressing, like she doesnt know how to let somethings that arent important go, she constantly is heavily sighing, if you start a joke about something that happened she starts rambling about how thats dangerous or stupid. when shes driving, if someone tailgates her, she will complain about it non stop where ever were going, shes rude a lot, and just hearing her talk 2 seconds makes me want to hit things…what would you call these problems of hers??

Answer #1

holy crap. thats def how society sees bipolar disorder. im bipolar. and thats not how it is. she could be, but you cant assume anything until she gets diagnosed. she could have anxiety disorder, or adhd. it could be menopause, if shes in her mid/late 40’s. good luck. I know how hard it is

Answer #3

Anger problems. I dont want to sound preachey, but my dad had a lot of the same problems and my family started going to church. my dad is a much better person now and hasnt had a drink for over a year and a half. Christianity really helps a lot of problems in life, not kidding. I was borderline schizophrenic for a long time and this weekend I prayed to god and he spoke to me (not in an actual voice, but he made me feel great). At that moment I felt overwhelmed of the holy spirit and started crying. The things I was sensing have really dulled down and is getting better as I get more into my faith. Please think about this and fun mail me with a comment.
