Hi, Jeanne, welcome to the group, you've come to a good place, many of us here can understand the stress, personally I can understand your frustrations with the drivers, out here in South Carolina, you are either stuck behind some one who learned to drive on a tractor, or they are actually driving a tractor down the road, or you have some on your tail so bad they should be able to reach up through the tail pipe and give you a peck on the cheek..lol, I use to drive for a living out in California, drove bus, and every now and then I would call my dispatcher and tell them they had one hour to get a replacement driver out to take over my run or the next porche was getting ran over that darted in front of me and slammed on their brakes..lol, needless to say, they sent out a driver in 30 minutes, and I went home and parked my car, and walked where ever else I needed to go..

When you talk with your Son the next time, please tell him I am proud of him and all the others who are out there protecting us and our freedoms..

Hi Gypsy, Thank you so very much for your letter. I had to laugh just a little about how you and I can relate. I have the same problems in crowds. When I go grocery shopping either my daughter, a friend, or my husband go with me just in case I start to have an anxity attack. When it comes to my aunt I know that I have to deal with it on small doses. Right at the moment I am trying not to think to much about it. For me at the moment it's easier. I wanted to say that yes I do have a doctor for my bi polar and I do take meds, but when it comes to grieving he is not very helpful. You see I go to the state hospital and they have a short budget. I'm just grateful that they are there for my medication. They are also availible for those times when what my children call medication malfuntions.lol Ok enough rambling thank you again so much. I'm really glad you are herehere

medication malfuntions!.... Armymom I almost spit out my coffee laughing at that! You have to love kids! They put things in the simplest but most perfect terms! I am sorry about the loss of your family member. My mom passed away a little over two years ago. I am starting to learn to cope but still think of her everyday. It is a slow process and I was once told when I asked "how long is this going to take" the answer was "as long as it does...."

Try and take things as they come....that's all you can do! Hugs

Thanks a lot for the concern for my son. I will defintally let him know how you feel. He will really like that a lot. I haven't talked to him in a few days and I am starting to get bummed about that, I know he is ok but I am an over concerned Mom. I give both my childern and my husband a lot of credit. For years I lived with this disease without medication and so did they. All my crying episodes and then the angry tempertantriums. They all love me very much and I guess they think I'm worth the fight. I am concerned about my son because he has stated to me that he thinks he is also bi-polar. He has lived with it long enough to know the symtems and he also knows it is heriditary. Well thank you for listening. Hope to hear from you soon

Armymom...It says a lot about what a special person you are that your family stuck with you.

I was lucky that my family stuck by me as well.

My mom was bipolar and so am I. I often worry about my kids as well.

My youngest has some serious mood issues in high school (so I was really wondering) but after she joined the military she really settled down. I know in her case the discipline, structure and especially the physical excursion really helped a lot. She may still be bipolar (or maybe it was just teenage rebellion and stress) but she like my other kids, know what to look out for!

Hope you hear from your son soon! Hugs
