Hi all! I'm sorta new here, directed by a good friend. A little about me. I'm a 30 yr old single mommy (for the last almost 4 years) with two children. Brittany is 11 and Tyler is 6. I work at a vocational/rehab facility for people with visual impairments and blindness as a career counselor. I LOVE to read, listen to good music, do puzzles (Sudokus become a favorite), watch movies, and play tennis with the kidlets.
I wish I came on happier notes, alas...it's not happy at all.
My son, Tyler, is 6 years old. He has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, Major Depression, and Anxiety. Lots of tags to put on a little man. Now, Tyler's diagnosed as bipolar.
I've always suspected that he was. Even in the delivery room right after his birth, I looked at my mother and said, "This one's different" It was if God was whispering in my ear, I just knew it.
I could type up a whole book on Tyler. He's the text book bipolar. Rapid cycles, threatens to kill himself, and me, totally up one second, totally down the next. Has horrible rages over nothing of significance. Night terrors, bed wetting, foggy mornings, insanely smart, if you've read "The Bipolar Child" he meets 98% of the "signs and symptoms". After watching him, he's even hypersexual. :crying:
I just want a place where people understand, support me, give me suggestions on day to day activities, and share stories with me so I know I'm not the only one dealing with this madness.
