    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      i was diagnosed with bp a little over 3 years ago now. pdocs have changed my meds evey couple of months cos nothing seems to work. i have only started to tell people about 1 year ago about my disorder, and have only come to terms with it myself. I'm a single mum & all i have in my family is my own mother (she has bp too!) my support group is pretty THIN. I dont like talking about my meds.silly i know.

    • Close Single Parenting

      been a single mum for 7 years, im one of the lucky ones who gets along with my ex and his new wife. But its so hard to be selfish and look for a partner for myself while loving and protecting my son. I push men away. I dont blame my son at all for this, I blame soceity and it really brings me down to a big low. Im scared I will grow old alone and depend on my son to fulfil my companionship needs, not in a perverse way, but for me to rely on him and I will get in the way of his future.
