i watched this last year, it really hit close to home. it’s from the view of a teen with a mother who is bipolar, it shows the extreme side of manic episodes and how fast they can spiral out of control. it was very upsetting though, it was written from true experience perspective of the daughter but i thought the depiction of a bad manic episode was scarily accurate. it can be
!extremely! triggering and scarily upsetting as the father is very very abusive.

⚠️TW⚠️ 

as in threatening and attempting to harm and basically almost kill the mother (multiple times) who is in a very vulnerable state, and the stress from this contributes to her episodes. 


it also contains upsetting scenes of a involuntary psychiatric hold, so please PLEASE consider your headspace if you ever decide to watch it. seeing depictions of an episode from the outside made me very emotional. it also shows how different people act when manic compared to who they actually are. has anyone else in the uk seen this? what did u think?
