I (30 afab) was diagnosed with bp2 a few months ago. Everything is still leveling out, and I’ve told my mother this. She (understandably) checks in on me every few days. I had a crash from my most severe hypomanic episode and checked myself into the hospital for unaliving thoughts. 

Anyway, now she will ask me how I feel, and I tell her things like- oh today is a down day, or my tremors are bad today, or I think I’ll go do this thing. And her response is “have you taken your meds?” 

I am someone who is diligent with medication taking. I very rarely miss a dose. Now there have been times when my depression wasn’t controlled where I contemplated not taking them, but I always do. And having explained this to my mom, she still constantly asks if I have taken my meds. 

I don’t know why this is making me so frustrated. Yes- I am taking my meds. Do you really think I want to end up in the hospital again? Or have tremors and dystonia so bad that my muscles ache? Or leave this sense of stability that I have for the first time in my life? No! Please trust me, a 30 year old adult) that I am capable of taking care of myself and that I am emotionally intelligent enough to reach out if I need help. 

Does this bother anyone else?
