This will be short since it's my first post and it's getting late. I just went looking for a blog I, as a mom with bipolar disorder, could relate to. Well, I couldn't find one. There are a few out there, but nothing that that felt "fit" me.
So here I am: I have a 20-year-old daughter is is about to get out of the Navy. I have an 8-year-old daughter and a daughter who was stillborn in 2005. You can imagine how that kicked me in the butt, even without the mental illness. I can write about that another time, because I think it will be good to have it out there for other moms who suffer a similar loss.
Anyway, I also have two boys, four and 18 months. My 18-month-old still isn't walking, so I'm arranging for him to see a physical therapist. My husband thinks I'm being paranoid, but every time I have a gut feeling and ignore it, it turns out bad. So this time, we'll be doing it, even if the therapist says everything is fine.
My husband works for the railroad, fortunately right now he works in town and is home every night. Most of our marriage (which has been 11 years) has required travel, so it's been really nice, even though the money isn't good. Thank you, bad economy. Both for real and sarcastically.
I hope someone reads this, I hope I can keep it up.
You don't have to "keep up" with anything. Do what you can, when you can & you will find some sense of relief. It won't make the pain go away, but every letter you type will bring you more support from "us". Love you. This is going to be a bumpy but good ride....
