    I am a mother of a 16 year old daughter diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar. I have a 5 year old son with a Chronic Kidney Disease.

    Interests

    Don't seem to have very much time to myself. I do enjoy spending time with my kids. I like to fish, if they are biting.LOL I like to read. I also enjoy my goldfish pond outside. It is very peacefull sitting out there watching them and listening to the waterfall.

      From annonymous September 10, 2007

      "A smile costs nothing, but gives much- It takes but a moment, but the memory of it usually lasts forever. None are so rich that can get along without it- And none are so poor but that can be made rich by it. It enriches those who receive, without making poor those who give- It creates sunshine in the home, Fosters good will in business, And is the best antidote for trouble- And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value Unless it is given away. Some people are too busy to give you a smile- Give them one of yours- For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly As he or she who has no more smiles left to give." ~Author Unknown

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have a sixteen year old daughter with bipolar. I don't always know how to help her. Looking for any information that would be helpful.

      Treatments

      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      I suppose it does help her, but she still gets very depressed
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      daughter goes once a week, she does not like to miss, i think it really is what keeps her above water
    • Close Anxiety

      I have chronic anxiety. I stay very stressed all of the time.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      works well, the doc tried lowering my dose and I crashed. Back up to normal dose now and feel much better
      Xanax Working / Worked
      they work to take the edge off. I try not to take them very often, only if I really need too.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I suffer from depression just trying to deal with everything in my life.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      works well, i take if for excessive worry.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      works well, helps alot with the depression
