I have to confess that although I am bipolar with my own mental disorder I am lost when it comes to understanding other people with a different disorder.
Today we had a flood in the basement and it was found by a person with panic disorder. The panic episode became overwhelming to both of us. I did not understand why the screaming and hysterical behavior was part of her disorder. As I was trying to get emergency help the screaming became directed at me and I was totally lost for an understanding of what she was going through.
I have to say I do not understand much even though I writing about different disorders. This has shown me that I can not make people understand what I experience with my mood swings.
And so I have made a new resolution to not to not explain to others what I actually go through and trying to make them understand or for any empathy as to what I am going through during my episodes
I can not ask for help from others and have to control my symptoms the only thing that I can do. I can not control the disorder and so have to deal with the symptoms the best that I can.
Understanding mental disorders are difficult for me as it is for someone who does not have one.
And that is true of most people that is the differences in mental disorders.
You are never too old to learn the different mental disorders and today made me realize that I can not.
