Bipolar

Thank you for adding me to the group. My daughter has had a complicated diagnosis for the past 9 years including BiPolar, autism, adhd and ptsd. A recent episode of psychosis has left me feeling helpless.

We have set up a terriffic team of professionals for her care and are desperately trying to keep her out of hospital but it is very hard to deal with the distance she needs from me.

How do carers deal with this heartbreak of distance between their loved ones and themselves?

Re: Bipolar

Seeing progress is the most rewarding thing for any parent @Tina11 . I'm sure it's also given you a lot deeper understanding and you have been strengthened by it. Yes, I acknowledge that there may have been a lot of tears and hurt too, but that's with anyone raising a child.

Hold your head high and know you are doing your best!
