i take care of a toddler. by myself. i had to leave the father because he was making my illness worse - also would not allow me to get help or take care of myself in anyway. i used to take care of him as well, on a shoestring budget! that was total insanity and was exhausting! i understand where you are coming from.

i, however, am not in therapy (although i 'ought to be) and i am not taking any medications. it's still very rough. but!!!!! psychcentral has helped me in more ways than i can express. and i have an amazing boyfriend who understands me and believes in me, so that helps a lot.
