I often feel like a failure. No job, no job history even, a bad wife & mother. I'm horrible at housekeeping, hate cooking and daily chores. I can't get involved in my daughter's playing, and now she is into computer games and even computer coding that my husband introduced to her and I understand zilch. So I relate to her less. And there are days when I can't get out of bed or overexercise, what kind of body image does that setup for a pre-teen young girl?
You are hanging in there. I personally think mental illness is one of the hardest battles in life to fight, especially things like BP, when you know the odds are that you will be battling this disease for the rest of your life.

Thank you. It must be nice with a family. I hope to get a family one day, but it doesn’t seem likely. I think I have too many issues for anyone to be interested.
Yes I’m hanging in there. I’m so grateful for my therapist and doctor. They have been there and done so much for me. I don’t know what I would have done without them. They keep saying that I will find happiness and a good life. I think they just say it to make me feel better and feel like they have to say it. I really can’t see it myself.
