I'm a senior in high school. My mother used to beat and verbally abuse me. She has left us now. She was unstable herself and we mended our relationship, I forgive her now but it's hard to forget the hurt she gave me. When I was a kid I was sexually abused by a man in this academy I used to go to, and the memories only resurfaced this summer. My family is pretty unstable. I live with my father now (I have a pretty good relationship with him but it's been bad recently), my stepmother and half sister I never knew about until last year, and a "nanny" of sorts who is just a terrible woman. (I have a terrible relationship with her and just hearing her voice makes me angry, however we cannot fire her because she has a very good relationship with the half sister.)
I've been clinically depressed for a couple of years now. I hit rock bottom this summer and attempted suicide many times. Then it suddenly disappeared and I thought I was okay until it came back.
I want to know if I am bipolar. My depression comes and goes. I get angry very easily, and when I do it is at little things and I get REALLY angry. But when I get happy I get REALLY happy. One minute I am okay, the next I'm suddenly bawling.
The past three weeks I haven't been in school. I have been sleeping during the day and up at night, not because I want to but I simply cannot sleep. All these depressing thoghts take over me and I just cry. Naturally I am failing my classes I know I have to go to school but I can't get myself to do anything. I've lost the motivation and drive.
I don't know what to do. What am I supposed to do? I feel so overwhelmed. I don't know if my priority right now is to take time to recover or to suck it up and be the student that I'm supposed to be. I am constantly on the verge of breaking down these days. Please help me out.
