Oh, thank God he can not "commit me". What a jerk for even threatening me with that! Grrrr... I am sooo mad that he tried to intimidate me that way!

I struggle with all of the common things that you hear some stay-at-home moms complain about; like laundry, cooking, cleaning, keeping up on helping the kids with their home work, not enough adult interaction, things like that. Those things can be hard to stay on top of for just about anyone, right? But, I have moderate to sever ADHD and just recently got diagnosed with BP2, not to mention subclinical OCD tendencies.... I just simply feel like I could do so much more for my family if I were to pursue my career goals, ya know?
I've been a homemaker for the last 10 years with little to no improvements or successes... I know I sound like Im being hard on my self and I recognize how my mood is affecting my wording but also, it just seems so much more effective to do what Im good at doing. I do not want to waste time trying to be a good homemaker when I know I never will be...

Yeah, I guess I should re-address both of these ^ suggestions. I know that Im on the downward slide of some recent hypomania, its just that I don't really have faith that professional help will
really help, at least not to the degree I need.
Any way, thank you for responding! I am going to get some "ME" time. Your right it is a tough job, huh?..... *sigh*
Man, I wish my husband would learn more about my diagnoses. I think if he understood that I can't just "try harder" then he might be more understanding...
