I don't have children but I want them. The thing is, I know I can't take proper care of a baby until I can take care of myself first. Having bipolar doesn't mean you should never have children, just that it's a medical condition you need to, well, consider. You wouldn't jump headfirst into a pregnancy if you had a heart condition, it's the same kind of deal.

So it's good that you're deciding to take a step back and take time for yourself and your own healing first. I wish you all the best!
