This is my first step in trying to understand what my 13 year old daughter is and has been going through her whole life. At 7 she told me that something was wrong with her and that she wanted help. She knew at 7 that she was different. She made several attempts to kill herself. I searched out counselors, social workers, school psychologist, psychiatrists, and finally last year she was diagnosed. She is Bipolar. And as we all know whether parent or child suffering with the disorder there is no magic pill that cures all. It's spin the medication wheel an see what works. That's the frustrating part for both of us. My daughter just wants to feel OK. How do we as parents help them through this. How do you answer a child that asks "When will I get better?" How do you ride out the rollercoaster with them? How do you guide your child to the right support groups? So many questions to be answered.
