      Hey Girl, been reading your journal & seems like you are doing awesome! That's great! I haven't been on here for a long time, but need to get back. So much to do & so little time every day. Days seem to be getting shorter with age & heck alot more busy. I really need to stick with everyone in here though & feels good to get back. What kind of embroidery work do you do. Can you send some pics of some of your work? Thanks for aways being there for me. You are a rock, that's for sure.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My son was referred to a psychiatrist by his medical doctor who thought he exhibited signs of mania and suspected bipolar disorder. I don't know where this came from. I've always thought he was ADHD, though neve had him tested in school due to social stigma. He always did in school as far as grades but he was full boy. Only a couple of fights in elementary school. No major behavior problems even in teen years.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      hasn't started yet just prescribed today
      Depakote Working / Worked
      Just prescribed today. Don't know yet
    • Close Anxiety

      I am the mother of two boys. Recently the oldest son was referred to a Psychiatrist because she thought he was suffering from mania and depression and possible bipolar disorder. I am confused as he has never exhibited bipolar syptoms to me. I've though he was ADHD and never even considered bipolar disorder. I don't know what to do or say to be the most supportive to him. What do you think?

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      seems to improve his mood.
      Abilify Too Soon to Tell
      just started today
      Depakote Too Soon to Tell
      just stated today
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      seems to improve mood
