Dear Waves,
You are not a loser and you know that some of that thinking is disordered and the other thinking is situational.

I don't why it is that parents can do that to us.

I'd like to remind them that as far as I know, bipolar cannot present without the right genetic component (I could be sort of remembering that wrong but I think I am right).

You are valued here, even if you are not sure of your value to yourself.
