well, i was diagnosed with bipolar 20 years ago, ive been forced onto meds, locked away, physically brutalised by police. i have now found out myself 20 years later the reason i was and still do have emotional and anxiety and other issues is becuse now i know my mother is a covert narcissist and has made me sick. i have not many friends, no job, am in housing because of the person my mother has made me into. so therefore mental health misdiasgnosed me 20 years ago, as dx of bipolar, when i was just suffering and having a breakdown because of the way my mother emotionally abused / abuses me , she even did that the day i was diagnosed,,, she riled me up and purposefully got me upset and very elevated, then called mental health and told them nothing of that it was her doing. she is the classic narc. my friends, ozzy, amber and andrew who have known me for years agree my mother is ill and have overheard her while on the phone, or i tell them. my mother will speak to me in a very rude tone, i will tell her and ask why, she says she didnt. either she does not know she did, or shes lying and knows. what is available to help me? any services, or money, can i sue for malpractice? can i get some money from victim services or something, what am i entitled to?
