It was hard work dealing with marriage and young adult children after my diagnosis. Until things settled I/it played havoc on my family. I did some dumb things which I won’t repeat (I’ll trigger people).

But, just to give you hope, 3 1/2yrs post diagnosis things are much more settled.
I’m still not the most well behaved when manic but my family knows I’m doing my best (which I am).
My kids actually say I’m a better mum since my diagnoses.
