[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 88852, member: 1514"] I have no doubt I am bipolar, and that I have been bipolar all my life. However, I my illness has waxed and waned over the years and shown itself in various forms during that time. Im sure it didnt always show itself in the same exact manner every day of every year for the last 45 years. One thing that is completely noticeable is that when I am in a stress free environment I am so relaxed you might never know I have bipolar. Not unless you looked very closely...lol. I also have various other things that play into it. Now with Cory, he was diagnosed before childrens mental health was looking into much more than ADHD and ODD. They still didnt diagnose young kids with bipolar at least down here. Im still not completely convinced he has it but he has the suicide attempt now so who knows. He does have the personality disorder which I am convinced of and I wish we had done more work with the diagnosis of conduct disorder when he was younger but no one actually labeled him with that early on. I dont think its all a matter of parenting or pills. I think it takes a combination for some people. Sure my parenting wasnt the greatest with Cory. How could it have been considering my own issues? But at least two of my kids grew up to be fairly decent citizens. I dont know the answers. I dont think there are any cut and dried answers. [/QUOTE]
