Today, I was told I have bipolar disorder. I'm 31. It took so long to diagnose because my mom always figured I was "just a super bitch half the time." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I was misdiagnosed with ADHD 10 years ago and instead have bipolar disorder. For the last 10 years I have been taking meds that helped me focus on my manic / depressive state. FML
Today, after a lifetime of struggles, I was finally officially diagnosed with ADHD. Thanks to years of ridicule, punishments, humiliation and even beatings over something I literally could not control, I also have terrible depression and anxiety. My mom still thinks I’m making it all up. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I have no idea if when I feel an emotion if it's me or my disorder. I'm my brain's bitch. FML
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I found out three things: One, I was apparently diagnosed with Tourette's as a child. Two, my parents apparently told everyone about it, and had no idea that I didn't know about this. Three, that the diagnosis is possibly incorrect. I'm in for quite the time. FML
Today, I told my mom that I was taking antidepressants because I hate myself. She said "That's not surprising. You hate everybody. And, you're kind of a bitch." FML
Today, I found out the reason my mom took over 9 months to get me a therapist and much needed help after I told her how I had been depressed and suicidal for over two months. It wasn't because it was hard to find one, but actually because she thought I was making it up to cushion the fact that I got a C in a class. FML
Today, I saw a psychiatrist for the first time. After telling her everything I'm going through, she looked at me and said "You know… every five years or so I get a case completely beyond my ability to help." I guess it's been five years. FML
Today, I talked to my boss about the fact that I have been diagnosed as bipolar and I am having a really hard time with it. He told me to look on the bright side, now that I'm crazy I will never have to do Jury Duty. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's what being bi-polar is. I'm bi-polar. If I don't take my pills I'm a dick half the time.

Just because her mom knows her doesn't mean she lives with her.

My Dr tried to diagnose me with bi-polar disorder a few years ago, but I knew I wasn't. I recently found out that I have PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder) it's basically insane pms..depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations..here's a site that has a list of the symptoms...http://pmdd.factsforhealth.org/what/symptoms.asp Treated with anti depressants, hormone therepy or in worst case scenarios, Hysterectomy. You should talk to your gyno about this, if your only crazy half the time. Drs are so quick to assume..double checkin couldn't hurt :)

i didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until i was 18, because my family just thought i was a super lazy, disrespectful, annoying bitch all the time

There is no such thing as bipolar disorder. It's just an excuse for people who are to much of a bitch to admit that they are a bitch.
