Don't be hard on yourself. You did the best you could. I'm sorry you didn't have someone around to help you when you needed it. Being tired is a big part of depression. You are a great person.
Thanks for sharing, i totaly understand what you've been throught and i'm lucky to have a supportive girlfriend(non bipolar) to take care of everhting when i'm not doing well.. I have to say i totaly ADMIRE all the mothers out there, you are all SUPERHEROES to my eyes cuz even trying i cannot do half what my girlfriend of mom was doing for me. Thanks for being a mother and i'm sure you are a good one and i'm sure your kids are glad you always were there for them just like i do with my mom :)
Also regarding kids i have to say i'm just a Dad but still i have 2 kids and what i got the most concern about is regarding the whole year so far that i'm unemployed and just running from High/lows for over a year and basicaly fear the father "Image" i give them since last year...most of all i fear for the next 10-20 years, fearing to see all that suffering i live as bipolar could been pass on to them..Anyway as my moto said,
"One day at a time to avoid getting sick and tired of been sick and tired" Gotta go , Dentist time for my Dauther :D later and take care Salty . Ken ^-^ v
I found being very honest and open helped my children greatly. I let them know I had a disease other people had and that they were not the cause and as a parent I was never going to be perfect.
My little family is very close from all that we have gone through. Thanks for pointing out the most important fact I have to remember which is I am very involved with my children's' feelings and lives. I am lucky I made that a priority. Like you said, I am always here for them.
I admire you for having children, I am too afraid to have kids, knowing how evil I was. Bipolar Disorder skips generations in my family but I was a demon child aside from that. I feel like bipolar disorder as a diagnosis itself has stolen my identity and ADHD is hereditary and in my case it is like being hypomanic 24/7 so I would be screwed there. I would be a bad role model and my kids being demon kids would make me laugh plus I would do everything before meds and the mom would hate me for it
I must start valuing what I have done all by myself with two children. Better easier said than done but I'll keep with it.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your admiration at me being a mother. I had it hard. I only had nursing as an option so my sleep was really effected.
I feel your pain. Its very hard to be a parent and have bipolar!
