CoolWe all need to remember that thru every cloud there is the promise of sunshine and the beginning of a new. We will find that beginning and embrace it. There is always hope and an answer waiting for all of us. God bless each and every family as a new day begins. Give us all the strength and courage for all that lies ahead.

thank you for writing this.  today i have decided to accept that i am ill and i do need long term help and that i can get better. after being on medication for just a few months and then coming off thinking i don't need meds...well ive learnt that i do.  i think i have been kidding myself and others and it seems to have caught up with me.  i have been continually tearful and distant in the past couple of weeks and im aware that my need for extra sleep is a part of my illness thanks to this site.  i just feel sad.  i feel angry and guilty for being constantly angry at my 4 year old.  i feel extremely hopeless and useless.  i want it to stop.  i want to have a good day with my family (especially my 4 year old). i feel ashamed of this illness which i can see has followed me from my father who has had a break down in the past and who also has a great memory problem like me. if there is a god...why does he punish us with this.  is it a test of strength?  i have such a loving husband and i feel that im such a burden on him.  i bet he wished he never married me.  pls pls can someone tell me i am not alone.  i feel so sad.

tabby thanks for the comment. 1st remember always that you are not ALONE. there are a million others feeling the way u do. I as a caregiver feel so sorry for you and the sadness that you feel. with accepting your illness you have taken the most important step in your life to wellness. as with my daughter who is 18 and me her caregiver i have over these past 6 yrs seen all that you are feeling. all of these emotions you feel are all part of this if my words can help then listen You can and will conquer this! You can contol this and not let it Control You! it isn't easy but you can do it! don't feel hopeless of useless because you are neither of these things!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVER BE ASHAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!. You are a special person like all other people with a definite purpose in life. God is not punishing you he loves us all and when you have a rough road remember God is with you if it be to just help or carry you he is there. You are not a burden to your husband. he is the special angel sent to care and love you.n your daughter is the light at the end of the tunnel you are in. you will have many years of joy and happiness with her because you have started the journey to acceptance. sleep and proper nutrition are your best friends! i posted a comment a few days ago about the nutritional supplement my daughter takes. and i have to say that she has improved greatly. this is not a medical cure but by giving the body the nutrients it needs it can help heal itself . it is not a miracle cure but she is definetly improving. her emotions are not so wild and she actually gets up in the morning with a smile and a good word. i must tell you my husband and i take this too and we feel the sense of well being that i think my daughter is feeling. the woman who introduced us to this product is herself bipolar and she has been taking this for 19 years and takes no meds . she is an amazing woman and my hopes are that my daughter may some day be as she is. if you would like to talk to Dorothy let me know i will get you in touch with her. just always remember you are never ever alone and if you want to talk to me i am only moments away. God bless you and your family keep faith in him  dibbs55
