I have spent alot of time over the weekend absorbing my diagnosis of bipolar. I have used this time to learn about my …
I didn't abuse her either. I went to her house and she thought I was going to take her away from her stepmom. This was a year ago last December. She hasn't wanted a close relationship since. I see her once a month under supervision for an hour. We don't do any bonding during that time. It is hard for me to see her now I feel so badly about what happened. I know it is because of my illness but still. I don't feel like a mother now that she has cut me out of her life. She is 11 today. I hate this illness and all the stupid things that I have done because of it.
I am just reading this now as I haven't been online in awhile...don't ever feel like a bad mom! You are the best mom in the world. It's hard to know the right things to say sometimes and sometimes there are no words that can cheer someone up. You do enough just by listening and being there for me and I love you so much...always know that!
I love you mom and I am so glad you are starting to feel better. I am happy the medication is working for you and remember you always have us (your family) to support you anytime you need it. Love you lots!!
I am so proud of you for setting your goal of walking every day. I think it will help you to not only clear your mind but to relax and feel better. I would be happy to walk with you when I'm not working. I am so glad you are feeling good this week! It brings a big smile to my face. Love you!
Ten things to always remember...and one thing to never forget. Your presence is a present to the world. You're truly one of a kind. Your life can be what you want it to be. Take the days one at a time. Count your blessings, not your troubles. You'll make it through whatever comes along. Within you are so many answers. Have courage. Be strong. Wish upon a star, and don't ever forget...how very special you are.
I have as yet do not have a "diagnosis" but two weeks ago after feeling like I was painted into a corner concerning lies about our finances drove away from our home for 1.5 hours, rented a motel room with the real intention of committing suicide. Through the grade of God although I still don't want to be "here" I panicked and called my family.
