MDJunction to me

"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times." (nvrsubtle)

Hi everyone! I havent been here for awhile and came to say hi. I stopped taking my meds about 3 months ago and I feel better. But I think my 8 year old has bipolar or adhd or something.

How are you guys doing?

I will get back on my meds if I start to feel my depression come back on. Still have alot of anxiety

Hi HelpEr82, nice to see you. I'm sorry to hear you suspect that your 8 yr old may have bipolar or adhd. Good news you've stopped your meds for a whole 3 months wow thats a long time. I'm glad to hear you are open to taking them again if you need too, hope you can get your anxiety down.

That's great that you feel good. I'm sorry about your child maybe having bipolar. You will deal with this when you find out though. You know what it's like and you can support your eight year old in ways that no one else can. It's good that you will get back on medications if your symptoms return. Good job. I hope you are back for awhile! Welcome back!
