How Do I Avoid Inheriting Some Of My Parents Bad Traits?

HELP! Both my parents have severe Bipolar Disorder and they're also slightly Neurotic and I am so afraid I am going to inherit those traits! I already have a really short temper and I get so mad sometimes that I feel like I am going to explode! How do I stop this without therapy?

I know your not open to it now, but I would STRONGLY suggest therapy.
There is no way to not inherit your traits.
Thats up to your genes ;)
But, there is ways of fighting them so आप can live a normal, happy life.
A shorter suggestion out of it is to take pills, but आप can't take them unless specifically subscribed द्वारा your psychiatrist.
I battled depression with a therapist, and it was extremely helpful.
I wish आप the best.

I'm not sure of the genotype that determines bipolar disorder, but it is possible that आप did not inherit the genes, especially if it's a dominant trait. So it is possible that आप didn't inherit it genetically. I'll research that.

Otherwise, therapy is stigmatized, but really a lot of people go to therapy for a variety of different reasons. It's really not that bad, and can help आप with a lot of things.

In the meantime, just focus on your feelings and reactions. Use your metacognition skills and try to ask yourself why you're upset. If आप can't find an answer, या if this kind of reflective thinking only upsets या frustrates आप further, than try and find activities that calm आप down and/or cheer आप up. All in all, be aware of your feelings and your actions.

And, as mentioned, I would recommend therapy. They're trained professionals, and can give आप better सलाह than anyone here can.
