"For hospice care," (chrisep)

MDJunction to me

"I've been a grateful member here for over 4 yrs this place has changed my life of course for the better, coming to the groups has enabled me to no longer feel so alone. As a group leader for the Bipolar Support group I can relate to others and am expressing my experience strength and hope and this is very rewarding, I've also made many supportive friends here whom I talk to some daily. I used to have a lot of 'lows' since becoming member here at MdJunction I no longer have these lows." (Dit)

My mom has severe depression and bipolar. She has chosen to not be on meds. she has tried to commit suicide by oding on pills in front of me when i was six. that was scary. Sometimes she has thesecrazy ideas and wants to persue them, some of them are dangerous. Sometimes its like shes nolonger my mother shes this crazy person that i dont know. It makes me sad that she doesnt understand that shes hurt everyone around her. I love her. i just wish she would get help! :(

they dont' act like our mothers when they are in their illnesses and that's so sad, I know.

My mother and my aunt were both mentally ill, too.

And I was the one who had to go to therapy.
