Mental Health Support

It took me weeks to get to the doctor because frankly, I could not get out of bed,
take a shower or eat.
But I finally did and am so grateful that I found the determination to go and
tell him what was going on with me.

I feel SO much better now that I am taking Klonopin.
It has changed EVERYTHING!

I am up and around, and cooked a delicious, healthy meal last night.
I am enjoying my life again, DESPITE the constant worry I have for my bipolar
daughter. Ever since her diagnosis, life has been constant chaos dependent on
whether or not she is taking her meds.

Bipolar disorder wreaks havoc for those who love the person affected.

But I have come to realize that I have NO control other than doing what the
doctors have all told me: All I can do is make sure she HAS medication.
I can not make her take it.
It's just that all HELL breaks loose when she goes off of it.

I am always poised to "clean up the mess" and hopeful that it doesn't happen.

I love this forum and all the support and understanding we have for one another.

It helps so much to be able to talk with others who are walking one part of the path
or another.
