Close Bipolar Disorder

I have depression and social anxiety disorder. I do a pretty good job of beating that down. My husband is bipolar and in denial. I have just figured out that our 6 yr old is also bipolar. This is the first place I have turned to for help. My head is spinning and I am in need of some focus.

Treatments

Writing Working / Worked

I love writing. When I am writing negative things its proof of my poor attitude and it makes me want to write positive and uplifting things. I have so many blessings in my life and I dont want my writing my mind or my heart to overlook that.

Effexor Somewhat Helpful

Hated the side effects. Took 3 months of horrible withdrawels to get it out of my system.

Positive Thinking Working / Worked

The most important. If my only thoughts were negative thoughts I would be a horrible wife mother and person.

Wellbutrin Not Working

Depression got much worse. Had suicidal thoughts.
