Is it just me or do all of you always have some sort of drama going on in your life? I don't mean drama that involves others or conflicts, internal issues no matter how good your day is. I have issues I didn't even know I have. I was talking to my kids T yesterday and all the sudden I am crying because I feel like my oldest is cutting the cord on me and starting to do his own thing...I remember thinking about that about a month ago but there I was crying about it yesterday...what's up with that lol.

Yes, letting go of the apron strings was a very difficult thing to do for me, too,but mygrown child now is related to me as a woman to a woman. That's something to be grateful for, anyway.

It's natural to cry and sometimes it helps to cry to let out all the stress and frustration. I can only imagine how hard it is to let your child go who has been living with you for so long. Just trust that you have taught your child the best you could and hope he does well and always let him know you're there for him through the ups and downs when he leaves.

Hi Christy. I just wanted to share something that my PDOC taught me. She says to look at the situation and ask myself this question: "Is this something that a 'normal' person would have emotional reactions to, or is it my bipolar. When I stop and ask myself this question, I think through the issue and if "normal" people would cry over it or be sad, then I allow myself to have my emotional reaction. She has told me over and over again that some of my emotional reactions are just normal reactions and not my bipolar diagnosis. It has really helped me.

My pdoc never compares me to "normal" people.... Are "normal" people supposed to be better than us or something?? A lot of "normal" people are judgemental and insensitive and I would never want to be like that.

I agree the wording is a lil bit off but the meaning is clear.
