Last night I guess I acknowledged, in a way, the loss of all my unborn children. I know I will probably never be stable enough to come off of meds and I won't get pregnant while on APs. It is devastating. I'm not sure whether I am ever going to be okay with it but maybe I will. I've started the grieving process and the last step is acceptance after all. I just don't know...

Sorry you had such a bad night. This illness takes it toll on us all. Hope you make it through the grief to the othe side.

I have chosen not to have children too. It is very hard. I can relate.

Are there no other treatments options for you? My Pdoc has told me that often women do VERY WELL while pregnant, even us bipolar folk, without meds. The necessity lies in going right back on meds after you've given birth.
There are options. I have to believe my Pdoc is right because every night I think about how my time is running out and I've got to pull things together. |

It's not even just the med thing really. I am not sure I would want my child to inherit my disorder. I wouldn't wish what we go through on anyone and I'm not sure I could live with knowing someone had to because of me.
