I cant say thank you enough for your kindness....you said you were in a wheelchair too, its none of my business but may I ask why? I am a below the knee amputee and I have a leg made for me but the ruptured disks in my back wont allow me to walk but more than a few steps.

It is quite hard reaching out, I dont know the etiquette (not a good speller) and I am afraid Im going to complain too much.

My sister is Bi-polar (we have known for years because she has always been manic and fit all the symptoms) Suddenly she went low or very depressed. I thought we were going to lose her, so I have been in NY 2 weeks every 2 weeks since January and I live in DC. Anyway I have never seen her like this and it scares me.
it is hard to give advice when you dont follow it your self but I was trying to help her with stuff I have been told in the past. anyway now we are having to take her in to our home and i am scared to death. It really puts me in a bad place psyc. and physical. I dont know it feels like I have been sucker punched in my belly over and over or one long anxiety attack. But what do when it is family. The only peace I have is that she will hate living with us (which provokes problems) so she will find her own place quickly I believe ((I hope!))
Im sorry to go on and on...It does help a LOT that I can have this place. Sometimes it is the only strand I have to hold on to.
