[QUOTE="smilingthroughmadness, post: 425761, member: 11884"] Thank you all so much for the info!!! Yesterday just happened to be a really down day for her and I could't get her off the couch. I was on the phone with her counselor and pediatrician off and on all day. Because she's also been having dizzy spells to the point of vomiting...we've all come to the conclusion this is a completely unrelated issue to the bipolar and she is now going in for auditory testing on the middle ear to figure out the dizzy spells. It just seems like it's one thing after another with her. My biggest concern was wether or not the school here actually HAD to listen to me now and if bipolar disorder was enough to get her on an IEP with the school. I love her to death, but this homeschooling her and taking care of a toddler, while still getting everything done for a family of 7 and babysitting my sisters 2 kids 3 times a week is not working out well. I know part of it is because I'm mom, so I sometimes I wonder if she's just telling me she's sick, or tired, or whatever the excuse seems to be. But when she's up, there's no problem with getting school work done. I just don't know if I can handle another year of her being homeschooled! I definitely don't want to fail her education wise, even though I have a great support group for homeschooling, it's just not the same as the social interaction you get ar regular school. And along with that, my sanity is really starting to teeter because we have very little seperation from each other. I feel like I've definitely found a counselor and a pediatrician who are actually listening to me for the first time ever! Amazing!!! Thank you all again so much. I will defintely check out those websites, the book and look into support groups for both of us. She only has 1 friend that can actually deal with her so I know it'd be great for her to find other kids who are going through the same thing. [/QUOTE]
