Thank you for writing this post; since being diagnosed as uni-polar at the age 15. I have been fighting some of my family members, when it comes to my thoughts. Many in my family, think that since I am a form of bipolar that I am crazy and for some reason think that everything I say is my manic side talking to them. Ever since my diagnoses, my brother especially is almost everyday telling me that I am crazy and thus treats me as such. This makes it very hard in my everyday life because my child and I are forced to live with him. And I can tell you from experience that when you have a people that will not separate your “bipolar/uni-polar side” from who you are as a person, it makes if very hard to have any faith in yourself.
I encourage everyone with any kind of disorder, To be proud of who are you no matter what; the only person in this world that can make you happy is yourself. If you are happy then you will have happiness in your life.

It sounds like she is experiencing some signs of mania. My father is currently going through this as well ad it has been very difficult. Is she on any medication? She needs to be seen by a psychiatrist regularly. That was our mistake. Talking to someone like this is difficult because they don’t necessarily “hear” what you have to say. We ended up taking Dad to the hospital and then had him committed for 5 days. Still on our journey and hope to see signs of improvement soon. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that they can’t see they are doing anything wrong. It’s the illness. Try to get her to a doctor. Meds can help tremendously.
