My print date was 12/10 of 2008 so you may be able to find it if you can figure out where to look for it. It was an eye opener because I wasn't diagnosed as bipolar until 2000&I've had it all my life&it's been a real source of pain&agony. What is good is that you can empathize with your son from 1st hand experience. Don't let this Doc treat him for ADD-the meds for ADD will only make him feel worse. Don't know what else to tell yu except to maybe PM DocJohn&ask if he knows of any resources if you can't find anything here on PC. Best wishes to you&your son   |
I just wish my husband wasn't so pig headed and would let me take him to a different doctor so he could be treated better. I don't think this doctor belives in childhood bipolar. His therapist belives he is has it as well.
Hi to the lonely person who posted to this thread, I will talk to you. what would you like to talk about? I lost all but one of my friends when I found out I was Bipolar. My only friend left is scitzo-affective, but everyone else went bye-bye. I think it's cause I can't relate well to most "normal" people. I just can't think "normal" or have "normal" feelings and they can't deal with it, but it's their loss, I am a awesome person and if they can't see that screw um. I would rather be alone than with people that don't like me for who I am, and unforunatly that includes my Bipolar and other illnesses
.
so, email me back and we will talk about what ever you want, I will try to not be so slow in getting back to you. btw I am 36-f
love-
nemo
