» flashjack103883 - Re: Bipolar Disorder

Dear Hiney
Hello Hiney,i read your passage and was overcome with the warmth and love for your mother and your loving care of understanding the illness.
I too suffer with manic depression i am only 27 and have two children who i adore and thank god for every precious moment that they give me i am truly blessed.
My children are still young my son is 8 now and daughter is 4 last episode i had was when i had daughter there were other circumstances which aided in the illness but well it's not an excuse and since 2000 i have not had another episode which has shocked many as i have been under a great deal of stress especially this year,but as you grow with the illness especially in my case i have known when to ask for help etc and have taught both myself and son who has adhd ways to cope and adjust.
I now help other families/mothers etc who are struggling to cope with issues and help them resolve their ailment and issues to confrot skeletons in a steady pace.I work with a family as volunteer for homestart which is organization for families struggling,i also have sites to help mothers and fathers with depression etc.
I just want to commend you for your undying devotion to your mother who i am sure is proud of you and it is so great to hear that you realize it is an illness and that she deeply cares for you as i tell my children every day they are extremely special a gift from god.
If you would like to tell your story to help others i have a support board which i would be gratful if you would post a message with your understanding of the illness etc as it would bring a lot of comfort to other families especially sufferers as we do carry lot of guilt around as we know families do suffer.
the board is:-http://jackiesstory.proboards30.com.

I hope you dont mind me askig.
once again good luck
Jacqueline Lloyd
