writes:I wonder if someone has similar experiences. So I have a very tragic family life, with many level, of undiagnosed,unexplained mental issues. I mean, different family members have different very serious issues, ,but there are no specific diagnosis can be made. That is creating a very complex and very painful family crisis,what we can;t figure out anymore. Sadly there is drug abuse, that tragicly ended my son's life already.(Me and my husband never did any drugs, nor drink). He possibly had an undiagnosed bipolar disorder, since he was 14 , as his psychiatrist suggested it, but he said it's hard to diagnose it, because of the drugs, . Now I understand, if my story is hard to understand, but the situation is that all of our children affected some mental issues, yet our family's denies any genetic connections, that can create this situation. Its very difficult , because the mental problems dont make it to a clear mental illness diagnosis, so you dont know how to deal, cope, and live with it. So how can you deal with undiagnosed mental illness, in your family, what effects several members? I feel exhausted , of trying to look after all of them, looking for support, therapy, and other resources, and I dont know what else can I do. Please share , if you are familiar with something close to this, Thank you

 For years, me and my siblings thought that our family was really screwed up..... But... as time has passed.... and we continue to live our lives.... we've come to realize taht we're really not as screwed up as we thought we were. In fact.... we suspect that we are downright "normal".... Can you believe it??????
I've heard so many "complaints" from people who simply don't - or can't - figure out how to get along in this world.... and the nature of those "complaints" is that there is something inherently "wrong" with them, or their family or their kids or their spouse... or their boss...
Damn, OP, stand up and face life.... The World isn't going to adjust to you.... it works the OTHER WAY (YOU adjust to IT!!!!)....
Good luck....
