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.
you can't do a thing for your son except be supportive. you don't have the answers. he has to find them himself. i know i want to take all the pain from my kids & g-kids cuz it breaks my heart to see them in pain but pain is a necessary emotion. without it we cannot become complete humans.
he has to get tired of this himself...when he gets to the bottom he'll quit diggin' & start climbing back up to the light...
we have all been there & done that & got a drawer full of t-shirts. i have been that girl & am a mother so i can see from both sides.
good thoughts for all of you.
I have to agree with what SapphireLuna said, we can't prevent their pain or keep them from it. Its that pain that shapes us and molds us to be the people God want's us to be. I will be praying for you and your son and I hope that things get better really soon. Hugs,
