Do most BP's (answer at will) have husbands and family. It sure seems like they do.

I've been married 25 years. 2 kids 21, 16. I just put my family through hell with my first crash and hospitalization which led to my dx. I've been bp since my late teens. I just know it, and I'm 43. I wonder if things will ever be "normal" again for me.

Was with ex for 16 yrs. SO glad that ended, but at the time, it landed me in the psych ward.
Been with hubby 8 yrs. We have a 21 month old daughter. She was a pleasant surprise as we thought we could not have children. My bipolar had been in check for 8 years until having a child whacked out my hormones and brain chemistry. So, the past 20 mos. have increasingly gotten worse.
*sigh* reality bites!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
