[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 290813, member: 1514"] I am 47 and bipolar and borderline. I also have physical disabilities on top of that. I really dont see a whole lot of difference between the two. Maybe the world at large would treat a disabled person in a wheelchair differently but I dont think my family would. My family has to make accommodations for me based on my health problems as a whole...not just mental or physical. Well I dont even know that accommodations would be the right word. Im just me. Someday I wont be able to take care of me as well as I do now and who knows what is going to happen. That someday almost came mighty early last fall! Everybody came to a screeching halt and found out that momma was mighty important to them. You have to know that she can do this. I learned to deal with my bipolar et al, while taking care of three kids. I know now that I have had this my whole life. It took me until I was in my late 30's to get diagnosed but now I am so much better. My family is so much happier. I wish my parents had been able to get me help when I was little but bipolar wasnt diagnosed back then. [/QUOTE]
