What type of mental illness is this?

Question

Okay, so I think my best friend, for 8 years, has a very serious mental problem, maybe bi polar or scitzophrenic. She always gets mad at nothing, to me and doesnt talk to me, and says these rude appauling things. Here is my example
This passed weekend, I took her down the shore with my family, which i have been doing for years, we always had a good time.
This time, during the day we went to the beach, boardwalk and had so much fun, and planned out the next day. So that night, we decided to have a few wine coolers, and we never drank before. I had two, she had one. She thought I was "drunk" from two wine coolers. She told me off and said I WANT TO ******* GO HOME and I tried to apolgzie and talk to her till 5 am. Then the next morning, she layed in the bed until 2 pm, wouldnt eeven LOOK at me, and I have no idea what I did, then called her mom saying she wanted to go home, but I took her home, (2 hours away mind you) and she hasnt talked to me since, she thinks I "hurt her" what is this

Just so you all dont say "hey shes right u shouldnt drink" i admit I am underage, but I am 20. I think i am entitled to a first time!! she thinks i said hurtful things to her and whatnot, even though I remember everything that went on, as stated above!

Answer 1

I do not think she has a mental illness. I think you pissed her off. I wasn't there, so I don't know what went on. The only one who knows why she was furious is her. I hope with time your friend will tell you, and I am guessing that you need to apologize if you want to keep a long-term friendship.

FYI: Two wine coolers for a female, and especially someone who doesn't drink all the time, DOES impair you.

Also, here's an old say: "Do you want to be RIGHT, or do you want to be HAPPY?" You can argue about why she shouldn't be mad, and be right in your own mind, but what is that going to get you? Probably one less friend!

Answer 2

If it is, then the majority of the world has it. The problem is that because some people really do have spiritual experiences, those of you who claim that religion is a mental illness are the ones in trouble. You may need to seek professional help with your delusion that the rest of the world (except for a very few people) are deluded. You're an idiot.

Answer 3

If this was a one time occurence, I'll bet you did say something that hurt her deeply and didn't even realize it. When you have alcohol and are unaccustomed to it, you tend to be at risk for saying things with one intention but they come out with an entirely different result.
Suggest you simply write her a sincerely apology, mail it and then leave her alone. She will either forgive you and remain friends, or she won't.
However, if this sort of thing has happened often, her getting mad like that, even when you weren't drinking, and withdrawing, then she is being manipulative and passive agressive, and yeah, she has issues. In that case, you need to decide if you want to put up with that from a friend, because, it isn't likely to ever change.

Answer 4

It sounds as if she may have some undeclared issues with you. Whatever the problem is until she opens up and let's you in on it there's nothing that you can do about it. I'd give her some space. She may be manic depressive/bipolar, but until she sees a doctor for an official diagnosis, I don't think you need to try to figure out what her problem may be. Give her some space. Either she'll come around or she wont. Either way, you tried and that's all you can do. If the friendship means anything to her at all, she'll come around. If not, then consider it her loss.

Answer 5

It doesn't have to be a mental illness. It is possible your friend is diabetic. I had horrible mood swings before I was diagnosed. I thought I had a mental illness, and went to therapy. I was put on antidepressants, and they thought I might have ADD, but it was really diabetes. It's hard to know from this description, and not being a doctor, I wouldn't know what to say. Just keep an open mind,because if there is something wrong, she will need the support of friends!

Answer 6

Sounds to me like she is just a rude person. I won't try to diagnose because I am not a Psychiatrist. I will say that she can't be mad at your for drinking 2 wine coolers because she also had one. Is she the one who bought it? Maybe she's mad at herself, if she did, for allowing an underage person to drink. I wouldn't worry yourself about it. I'm sure if she needs mental help someone (like her mother) will notice and get her the help she needs. Good Luck!!

Answer 7

I don't know that this is a mental illness. Honestly there simply isn't enough info here to give even a half *** evaluation. If I were you I'd just stay away from her but do encourage her to see a mental health professional. It does sound like she has some emotional problems. Save yourself the grief and steer clear of her.

Answer 8

I am not a doctor, but that definitely sounds like manic behavior (I have bi-polar and schizophrenia in my family). I would encourage your friend to see a doctor ASAP and also talk with her parents.

Good luck! Try to put up with her right now, she is really going to need you!

Answer 9

you may have hurt her. she probably really cares about you and doesn't want anything bad to happen to you. do something nice. go out and buy a card. appologize again and promise you won't do it again untill you are the right age. ask why she got so upset. understanding why she got upset may help a lot. good luck.

Answer 10

I DONT KNOW ABOUT AN ACTUAL MENTAL PROBLEM, UNLESS YOU CAN CLASSIFY A B#*%* AS ON.

SOUNDS LIKE SYMPTOMS OF BI-POLAR, THOUGH. WOMEN THAT HAVE BI-POLAR GET VERY B*&$#Y.
