Many of you who have been following this blog deal with many of the same issues that our family does. From the sweet loving child who gives you more love than you can handle, to the raging child who gives you a beat down that Mohammed Ali would be proud to talk about. Some of you this message may be too late. Some it may be right on time. It is important to your child that you do not lose yourselves and what makes you an asset to your child. If it be the patients that you lose or a relationship it has taken years to nurture to build stability in your own life. You have to take care of yourself and your relationships with others if you are going to be any help to your child. If your mind and heart are not healthy you can do little good.
I have been dealing with severe depression and sadness for some time now. I feel like we take two steps forward and three steps back. Of course this is because of changes in his body chemistry and thought patterns. It has me discouraged and second guessing most everything we have done and currently doing. Bipolar can be very hard on those who have it as well as those who deal with it.
I guess you could say I am cycling with Joshua and can not wait till I come out on the other side of this dark place.
