I want to say thanks for all of your support and encouragement. For all of your histories and information also. I feel like the disease won today, but I guess in reality I will be the winner in the end.
I've spent all day trying to find meds because i've been cracking for a few weeks, I can honestly say that i'm broken completely now. I've decided to get inpatient treatment so i can get the meds i desperately need. i've not been able to get in to anyone in order to get the meds and then i found one place that said they would see me, but then no meds. Even though they clearly said i was in the midst of an absolute break-down. I'm terrified to leave my husband and kids to go , because i hear horror stories.
I'll be back in a few days hopefully, i need to go pack and get the kids squared away for the rest of the week.
Bye and best wishes to all of you!!!!!

You are doing the best thing for yourself sweetie. If you feel bipolar has taken complete control seek help now, dont let it seek you. I've lost my family due to mine and I have to live with this everyday.

remember your no good to your family if you cant give your self the time to heal. Notice I didnt say your no good if your broken.... they need you always, but they need to to allow your self to heal because that means you will allow them the same. Its ok for your kids to see you need to work on things you dont like-ie mental illness. they wont think less of you but see you in the end with a positive out look if you present it as such. Good luch and take care of your self we will anxiously await your return

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
