| A little about me: | I am a 36 year old single mom from St. Louis just diagnosed with Bipolar Diorder. Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 12+ years ago and have battled depression my whole life. I am currently a college senior with 7 monts to go on my Bachelor's in Psychology. I have always been fascinated by the field of psychology, but I discoverd my "calling" when my then 13 year old niece was diganosed with Bipolar disorder. I didn't want her or any other child to suffer in silence so I decided to dedicate my life to being a child and adolescent counselor. Little did I know my pain was from the same demon. It is amazing what twists and turns life can take! But now I have been officially diagnosed, am on meds (Lamictal), and I am ready to embrace my disorder and start truly living my life-for the first time! |

 | Hi My daughter is a single mom also of a 4 yr. old daughter. She has 1 semester at university to get her degree. She is also 36.When she is stressed or depressed it seems to trigger an episode that, according to what I have read is a symptom of bipolar disorder.She wonders around like a zombie.,cries, laughs, very paranoid, says weird stuff and this last episode she grabbed her sleeping daughter out of bed at 2 in the morning and ran out in the hard pouring down cold and windy rain with no jacket or shoes on herself and daughter, just wandering around not knowing where she was or where she was headed. We had to call the police and they took her to the nearest hospital with my granddaughter.My granddaughter was screaming and crying hollering for nanna. I have been babysitting my granddaughter from birth till now full time so my daughter can finish college.My granddaughter and I are very close.I know my daughter gets jealous some but I never mention it, it's just obvious, but when things are better I tell my daughter about her behavior during her episode but she does not believe her dad are I and says we are lying and talks bad to us. It breaks my heart. I was suppose to babysit for her this last semester of college but my daughter put my granddaughter in daycare instead,which is ok anyway because it is time for her to be around children her own age. I am not a selfish person. I just worry that I want be there if and when my daughter goes through another episode. She says she is getting help, I pray so because I do believe all things are possible with God.My daughter is a good mother otherwise. Thanks for your time.Continue to be strong and carry through, and I will try to do the same. Please pray for us. Ypur friend karrotts. I love this site. |
