It will also be used as a tool to help us all figure out ways to control the moods before they happen. http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/the-wonderful-mind-of-my-bi-polar-child Thu, 23 May 2013 20:14:24 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/the-wonderful-mind-of-my-bi-polar-child/18th-through-22nd Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays were another set of good days.&nbsp; She wasnt grounded and she did as she was supposed to to do.&nbsp; It was a mellow week compaired to the ones that we have had thelast few months to a year.&nbsp; She got to enjoy playing outside and spending time with her family without getting in trouble and we got to enjoy spending time with her without yelling or getting mad at her.&nbsp; <br /><br />Thursday night she refused to eat her hamburger as she was full, then she [...] AStClair http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/the-wonderful-mind-of-my-bi-polar-child/may-16-2011-104328 Today was one of the best days that Samantha has had in a long time.&nbsp; She was grounded as the weekend was a bad one.&nbsp; Saturday and Sunday she refused to listen or follow any of her rules becauseshe felt that she shouldnt have to as she didnt feel like doing them at that moment.&nbsp; She had her extreme highs where she would just run around and babble and laugh at you when you asked her to do something.
