Just need to share

Just need to share

My adult daughter with bipolar and some psychosis has attempted suicide a few times...twice this year. I haven't really been coping since she told me of the last one a couple of weeks ago. She's been up in Sydney for a few days and it's been pretty intense..she's very very depressed. I'm fearful that she is planning suicide as she made a huge effort to see everyone..she said in case she suicides. She's compliant with meds and sees professionals..I'm thinking I'm going to get a message to her psychiatrist though if he tells her it's from me she will be very angry. I'm very aware that if she decides to do it then she will. I'm constantly checking on her , my anxiety and blood pressure are through the roof...it's even hard to breathe with the anxiety..2 days now that I couldn't work. Trying to stay in the now..one day at a time..I know she'll be safe for next two days. Sorry ..not up to talking to anyone..but it helps to share

Re: Just need to share

I sometimes sit there and think what is this all about and worry that not doing the right thing. Then look around and see a whole lot of people in the same boat looking for a destination and someone to co-ordinate a cox person to sit in the back and tell us to get inline and co-ordinate a rythym to row too?

Ive realised we all sit in a little boat in a big ocean and just need to find peple who have been succesful in the journey before us. I'm in Perth - who else is from here to get together and put a map together on what works and where to get assistance|
