[QUOTE="totoro, post: 45835, member: 3155"] It is not a death sentence... My Mom commited suicide she was BiPolar (BP) but she never recieved the help she needed/no medications... I have un-diagnosis'd mood-disorder... almost everyone in my family and some in my husband family have BiPolar (BP) or some form of a Mood Disorder. So when I heard my difficult child 1 was BiPolar (BP) it broke my heart also... and now looking at my difficult child 2 with her issues i am OK with it all. It has only been about 9 months since we started the evaluations. But issues since they were babies. I am honestly OK with her diagnosis. I have fears for their futures and hate what they go through, the medications etc. But the actual words BiPolar (BP) no longer give me fear. It is our reality and we need to deal with it. I have ups and downs so does husband so I think this allows us to be a bit more empathetic with our daughters, while it is not easy by any means, I don't get so upset with her now that I understand so much more what is going on in her little mind... If this is your difficult child's diagnosis, take time and research, read up on it. There are some great books out there, covering all sides of this issue!!! The bipolar child website has a great list of books. As well as cabf.org Hang in there and let yourself cry if you need to you will be OK with this. The shock fades and the warrior mom takes over... I hope husband gets on board, because if your difficult child is indeed BiPolar (BP) medications are most likely a must!!! Hugs by the way- we use Fish Oil for both girls, have for months... I really don't see anything good or bad with it, but I figure it can't hurt. We started with that prior to medications. [/QUOTE]
