About Me
I'm 39 years old, married with 4 children and 4 grand kids. I was diagnosed with BiPolar about 20 years ago, however, it seems over the last several years it has gotten out of control. My husband and I do not have any kind of relationship at all anymore, and I can't seem to do anything right or to make anyone in my family happy. I feel very alone and distant from everyone in my entire family. I feel I am at the end of my rope and I love my family very much, but none of them seems to have any faith in me right now and I get the feeling my presence is just being tolerated. I am hoping to get a chance to speak with my doctor about changing my medications again, and seeing if that might help. I need to find support because no one in my family really understands what I'm feeling and to be honest I think they are past caring about it.

Close Bipolar Disorder
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It was a long time ago when I was first diagnosed.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- It worked at first but now I do not think it is working anymore.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- That has always worked for me as long as Im in a positive environment when my family is more positive it seems. But as of the present time that is not happening.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Writing always makes me feel less stressed and it lets me get what I have been carrying around with me out of my system even if it is just on paper. I am a member of AlAnon and that is where I found my greatest support for anything and everything. I havent been to a meeting in a few years but feel the need to go back I done real well when I had a sponser and could be around other people.
Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
My daddy was and still is an alcoholic along with one of his brothers. Growing up in my house was never boring I can tell you that. Then when I was 18 I married who I thought to be the love of my life, WRONG! He was a very physical & mental abusive alcoholic. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl on 12/10/1988, and that following August before she was even a year old I left him. I was not going to let my child grow up the way I did or worse.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Working / Worked
- I've been a member of Al-Anon for 8 years. In face my last chip I received was my eight year birthday chip. I can't really remember why I just stopped attending my meetings but I can tell you this, when I stopped going to my meetings, my serenity stopped in me as well as everything else I had found there. That should tell me exactly what I need to do right? Then why is it so hard to start back?

Open Family & Friends of Cancer Patients
I lost the love of my life, my Granny to Cancer 5 years ago. Now I am losing the only person I honestly have left, my Mama. She has two different types of Cancer, the one that actually let us know that this was a death sentence was the Lymphatic Cancer. My Daddy left her after 33 years of marriage for a younger woman. After he left and the divorce was final, a big part of my Mama died. I am her caretaker & I am trying to make the best of what short time we have left with her.
