Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I am so sorry you are struggling right now. I know exactly what it's like to have marital problems and problems with kids. I went through it for years. The main thing I did was make sure to get myself straightened out before I could deal with anything else. As Shelly suggested, a therapist does wonders. I hope you find peace and comfort soon.
Best wishes to you.
I have a 6 yo a 2.5 yo and a 18 month old. My hubby works from 8am - 11 pm 6 days a week I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOU!!!!!!!! You cant give up. I cant give you any advice on how to fix it, cause I am learning too, but I am here to understand and listen. I think also with kids it take on a whole other dimension. You cant crawl into bed, well you can but someone maybe knocking on your door. If someone saw me now they would say you dirty gross pig smelly yadda yadda, but I am up with them. I have to be, watching Elmo. Otherwise Id be in bed.

I didnt give toss about me, my partner responds with "its in your head-sort it out, only you can)I was unable to commit suicide in- case my death traumatised my son, in the way my fathers death affected me-
I was able to latch on to my role as mother, and wash/tidy/chat/provide & play games with my kid,simple things, as this was my only definative purpose in life. I desperately didnt want to screw him up as much as me..
Mindfulness of breath helped me after brain-washing myself for 3 hrs a day for 6 months or more..(it occupied time if nothing else)It taught me to just be, i just am & im ok...one thing at a time..
feel free to offload anytime...It really is true, a problem shared is a problem halved - if only u got the guts to say it loud!!!
