[QUOTE="Jena, post: 393942, member: 4514"] you know what i've come to learn raising a child with bipolar is unlike anything else i've ever experienced. it's so incredibly different than raising your typical child. it has its pluses and challenges and down sides to it. i am beginning to think, alot from what i hear here my friends :) that keeping yourself healthy through it is probably number one. i used to work in the field, not long about year and a half with kids with mental illness in home crisis unit. i preached to the parents yet never followed my own advice. it's sort of like when the plane goes down if you dont' grab that oxygen mask first you can't take care of your kid. i have done an excellent job of running myself into the ground since i was blessed with her some almost 12 years ago now. its kind of like you have to be vigilant on your toes 24/7 with behavioral stuff cause they'll steam roll you like no other, do not waiver ever because they look for loop holes at almost every turn, and stay strong and consistent and yea medications the right ones and alot of therapy for not just the kid the family also. wish i had known all this when i began this journey. yet took a while to get the diagnosis and than to come to terms, etc. and yea you will carry the good and bad of it with-you for the rest of your life, yet you will also know you accomplished something that is far beyond anything you could achieve personally or in a job. i actually sat her with-last night in the den and watched t.v. with her till almost 1 than i went to bed she followed and stopped screaming my name after a half an hr. she didnt' want to take the herbal junk says it doesnt' work. did you manage to work with all this going on? i can't. i'm trying to be resourceful and creative and think of how to bring in an income with-raising her at same time from home [/QUOTE]
