My mother is bipolar.
She is a very, very religious woman. I am REALLY not. >_>; Just recently, the chicka went off her pills and since then, things have gotten a little crazy. Last time this happened we almost went bankrupt because she wouldn’t pay her bills, and the time before that she went out onto the streets in her pajamas yelling scriptures from the bible.
H’okay, so this time… she’s worse. >/ A week or so ago, she went to the hospital with chest pain and since the doctor was a jerk and didn’t get to her fast enough, she left and came up with this crazy idea that Jesus was possessing her left side (she says it was numb and tingly). I kid you not. She said she’s been getting messages from God in her dreams. I was there with my sister and aunt and she told us we were her ladies and our family was the ‘royal family’ and that the bible was bull - pardon my French - and to not believe it because it’s man-made and people are evil.
She’s been spending money we DON’T EVEN HAVE off the wall. She is a single mother and supports me and only me, and we have so much friggin’ trouble scraping by already without her giving waitresses 20 dollar tips on a place that doesn’t even MAKE you tip.
She doesn’t pay attention to me. Sometimes, she sits there and stares at nothing at all. She always sleeps by me and will not leave me. >/
Yesterday she completely disconnected the computer because it’s by the living room window and she’s worried if I sit here at night, somebody is going to shoot me. She took me to the kitchen, sat me down and very seriously told me to worship the Indians.
She mumbles about salt and pepper. YEAH. >/ I used to be kinda able to understand what she was saying to me, but now none of it makes sense at all. Last night, she made me promise that I would wear prayer beads to bed with me.
Today, my sister said she wouldn’t go in the basement because the walls were freaking her out and that she said something about maybe sacrificing herself.
She’s taking her pills again, apparently, but I don’t see a difference.
I hate it. I feel absolutely, positively smothered in this house. I don’t know what to do.
