I am 23 years old. I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and Im currently a full time student. My problems really started to get worse after I had my daughter. I was diagnosed with Postpartum depression which I think never went away. A few years ago I went to see a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with Bipolar 2. I have crazy mood swings, sometimes I'm so up that my mind races with so many thoughts that I dont even know what I'm thinking about half of the time. Other times I'm so down, I dont want to talk/see anyone and I just want to sleep ALL day, and I cant concentrait on anything. I have problems remembering anything. I havnt been on medication for at least 2 years because I currently do not have health insurance so I've been trying to deal with my problems on my own. I think that the major concern that I have is that I've never bonded with my daughter....my mother and grandmother have her a majority of the time so that I can do homework, but when I do have her, I get irritated very easily with her.....Im not patient at all. My husband is seeking help currently for compulsive lying. He lies to me about everything which doesnt help with my stress and were also having money problems. I dont know what to do. I'm just not happy with anything I do anymore. I'm tired of my mother and grandmother telling me that I'm basically a bad parent and that I should spend more time with my daugher. But she never wants to be here. She throws a fit anytime she comes home. I know that I should spend more time with her...its not like im in denial about it but anytime that I spend with her shes always asking me when she gets to go back to grandmas house or when grandma is coming to get her. I know that I shouldnt let her stay at my mothers all of the time, but its so hard to get any homework done when she is here....I dont know what I should do. Any thoughts would be appreciated....
