Bipolar 2 Disorder

My parents don’t understand what I am going through. I have been in and out of mental hospitals and they make it seem like what I am going through isn’t as serious as it actually is; it is extremely serious and should not be taken lightly. I have been in a mental hospital more than 10 times. My older sister, I don’t get along with her and she told my mom to lock me up in a mental hospital. One of my aunts told me I have nothing to be depressed over because I don’t pay any bills. People don’t understand how much I have been through. Bullying, people being rude to me. I have been rejected and called ugly my whole life. One of my cousins even told me I crave attention. Very rude and disrespectful. Also my cousins say I am not their age and yet they talk to people my age. I don’t want them in my life but I do know I deserve so much better than them all

Hi, my name is mari101_2000. I'm here because I think online support is critical. I'm a 48-year-old mom of two. Brittany is 28 and is on the autism spectrum and has PTSD. My son, Tyler, is 24 and diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. He is unmedicated by choice. He's been sentenced to three years for probation absconding. We don't have a relationship at the moment. I've been through a lot of trauma, I'm either MDD or Bipolar 2, and I don't know why they can't tell the two apart. I have CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. I also have a chronic illness.. I have very bad gastroparesis, and it's really affecting my life. I also have horrible arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back and hip pain. These are the things that I'm struggling with. Brittany had a baby that she'd worked very hard to bring forth. She had Everleigh, and she was a stunner. Five weeks later, she died of SIDS. So we are all grieving her. Also, we lost my mother to Alzheimer's about 6 months later.

Sorry, I just spilled my guts. Hope to make some connections!

I get nightmares and talk in my sleep. Is there any way to treat this safely without disrupting my medications for bipolar 2 disorder?
