Today, I learned from my father that all I had to do was eat right and exercise and I would be bipolar free. Gee, why hadn't I thought of that yet? FML

Today, my father told me that my mental health issues, which have been confirmed by multiple doctors and tests, are all caused by the fact that I'm slightly overweight and don't exercise a lot. FML

Today, I found out my father didn't have a rare brain disease, and that he was just an alcoholic. I've been taking care of him every time his "brain disease" acts up, for 2 years. FML

Today, I was told I have bipolar disorder. I'm 31. It took so long to diagnose because my mom always figured I was "just a super bitch half the time." FML

Today, while visiting my parents, I observed that I've been able to visit more often because I've avoided getting sick the whole year. My mother responded by reminding me that I need to get my act together if I'm going to lose weight and get healthier. Not the reaction I hoped for, Mom. FML

Today, my mom went on a rant about how insulin and other diabetic medications are evil western poisons, and that she can control her condition naturally on her own. That would be great, if she actually ate right and exercised instead of just using meditation to “think” herself healthy. FML

Today, I found out that I was misdiagnosed with ADHD 10 years ago and instead have bipolar disorder. For the last 10 years I have been taking meds that helped me focus on my manic / depressive state. FML

That’s really rough. Mental health issues suck. I find with my bpd exercise and eating healthy does help but it’s so much more then that. Stay focused and I hope you have a good dr who is able to properly help you. I’m sure your dad just feels sad that he can’t help you and is trying his best.

I have bipolar and that sucks. My parents tend to say I’m manic any time I’m excited or hyper (when I’m clearly not) so I feel you. Best of luck towards you 💕

Because you were not eating right or exercising enough. A steady diet of pizza and a lot of vigorous exercise like Madden 2020 or Call of Duty and you'll be right as rain in no time! Psychiatry is easy!

What a load of crap! I’m in very good shape and athletic and I eat right, so if that was the case, I wouldn’t have bipolar and therefore, wouldn’t need my meds and therapy.

I think that your Dad is trying to solve your bi-polar 'problem' by giving you that advice because he feels helpless as he can't help you. That is what good Dad's do, try to help their kids but this situation is a little out of his expertise.
