Hi;
I am new to the site and so wanting to interact with other care givers of people with Bipolar. My daughter was diagnosed 8 months ago with Bipolar, after 4 years of being treated for an eating disorder. I have now moved in with my d to try and help her cope. I have left my job, my community and family to be with her. Life would be easier if I could have moved her back with us her family and support system, but coming from a small community there is no treatment for her here. She has had to quit school, not able to work, and financially struggles as do all of us trying now to keep 2 households going. How do people with Bipolar cope, survive, live. I watch her struggle daily, the ups the downs the guilt of not being able to contribute. What can I do to help her and be of more support to her. She is still coming to terms with this life she is living, and as a beautiful young adult that had so many dreams and goals and now feels so hopeless in it all.
I am really looking for success stories, people who are living their lives, I am looking for hope.
Any info people can give me would be appreciate.
Thanks,
Alwaysamom
