yes, my illness has impacted my relationships. They weren't very good ones to begin with. This time around I'm with someone understanding of the illness.

My children? I am certain and quite frightened that my children do. I see my adult son with OCD and high anxiety. He seems to function very well though. I just worry when the time will come that he has reached his limit. He is aware of his anxiety as being a problem that perhaps should be attended to. My daughter I am quite certain is also bipolar. She is too high strung that I have been unable to discuss my concerns with her. I am very much concerned her life is going to come crashing down - hard.
