Hug
I hope you find the support you need too. And I hope your daughter doesn't have this crappy illness...but I think it's kinda better when they're diagnosed at an early age so they can be helped earlier but it still is rough! I wish you luck! Thanks for the hug! TaraBelle

Close Bipolar Disorder
I have spent my life, up until three years ago when I was diagnosed as bipolar, trying different medications and therapy to no avail. I am now 31 years old and have a thirteen year old daughter I raised alone, and a seven month old daughter. I stopped taking medications when I found out I was pregnant, I nursed her for five months, and now am trying to get back on track and it is extremely difficult.
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- I take these when I can not snap out of my extreme mood swing, which is on a daily basis.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- This started to work, I was on 200 mg, and then I got pregnant and stopped, but am now starting it again. It seems to help me stabilize better than with nothing.
- Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
- I just started this two weeks ago, and have had a major breakdown since, but it all takes time.
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was in a physically abusive marriage, and am now in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship. I got divorced from the marriage, and am planning on leaving the current boyfriend, but it is complicated. We had a baby 8 months ago, and I have been the stay at home mom with him having all the control. So, I have to start from scratch once again, but it is way worth it to have myself back.
Treatments
- Divorce Working / Worked
- Best decision of the entire marriage.
- Forgiveness Not Working
- I always have a hard time with this one. Still working on it.
- Leave Working / Worked
- It is definitely hard to get the courage to leave and to follow through with it, but soooooo worth it.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Both myself and my daughter have been in therapy, and are currently, and I highly recommend it.
