My niece, on fb.  We used to be so close. I don't even know what the hell happened....We used to talk al the time, hang out together.  Then all of a sudden,last few months, she just decided she hated me and I have no idea why.... I really really don't.  I don't know what I said or did but she just has serious attitude at me.   I tried talking  to her. All I was gtting was name calling and her spewing her venom and filth all over my fb page.  Not having that. I sent her a message saying "I'm your aunt, not one of your high school friends. I will not be disrespected or play childish games. You're done on my wall kid..." and I blocked her. Waiting for the pissed off texts to start......

Yep....

Quoting Anonymous:

Then it could be something completely different, but there is something bothering her and she sounds like she really needs to talk to someone about it. Does she live with her mom?

Quoting tecsabates:

Yeah, bipolar seems a quick leap....I wouldn't think it's to do t with her parents split - they split when she was like 4 or 5.....but who knows.  She's not talking...not to me anyhow..

Quoting Anonymous:

Sounds like she is having some issues with the divorce. I doubt that she is suddenly bipolar just because her parents got a divorce. Everyone that has issues doesn't suffer from a mental disorder. Just let her know that when she is ready to talk you are there, but not while she is being disrepectful because you aren't the one she needs to be taking out on.

I've tried to talk to her by phone, and till I blocked her today, on fb. I'd drive down there and knock on the door but I don't know where they live exactly.

Behavior like that (other than being a hormonal teen) is very common w bipolar. Sudden flipping out for no discernable reason that YOU are aware of, rage, hostility, personal attacks despite the fact you didnt do anything to precipitate it.

Im not saying she is, but it may be a sign. If she is a teen, this is when it manifests. If there is a prevasive pattern or other signs, I'd be considering it. But one sx alone doesnt mean you have it. But it can be a red flag.


Quoting tecsabates:

what do you mean? that she is bi polar?


Quoting Amy1973Potts:

I call Bipolar II. I have my reasons.

Wonder if there are not issues with her mom. It really sounds like that could be the case and she is acting out because of it. I hope that everything gets worked out and she realizes that if she wants loving adults in her life she has to be respectful and caring toward them.

Has anyone noticed a change in her weight? One of my best friends developed and eating disorder and started pushing the people closest to her away. Not saying that's the case, just something to watch for.

Not judging from the pics she posts on fb.... She likes to wear tight stuff so I would think it would be noticable... But I guess it's possible. She is a bit cubby.....

Just be aware that alot of things can 'trigger' an episode. Yes its a leap but maybe she is angry and taking it out on a family member who isnt involved bc its easier to do that than confront the person you are angry with.

And for anyone thinking I don't know what Im talking about, read up on it. It may surprise you. And you may know someone with it. Mental illness is very stigmatized and few are willing to admit to being bipolar. It is social death.
