This is so refreshing to read. Therapy is life changing and really worth it. It gives us tools that we didn't know we had. I really enjoyed your update. 2022 is absolutely looking like a nice year ahead for your family.

I loved reading your wonderfully written, honest update this morning as I was drinking my coffee. You write with such depth and feeling that never fails to educate others in the complicated world of mental illness. Sharing so much of yourself and your struggles in such an honest way is, I think, one of the best ways to push aside the stigma of mental illness and instead educate us about the truth of living with it. That is so very important!
I admire you so very much jeremysgirl. You are such a strong, courageous woman who never backs down from a challenge but instead forges ahead ready to fight the fight. Good for you! I'm thrilled to read your update and hope that 2022 is an incredible year for you and your family.

What a great update. And the advice from your therapist seems like very good advice on how to deal with adult children in general. I will try to remember that in dealing with my kids. Thanks for sharing! And Happy 2022!!!

I also want to commend (and thank you) for being so open. I know some of what you share has resonated with me and my relationship with my child. Thank you!!

Thank you all for lovely comments and compliments. It is a wonderful thing having friends like you all. This message baord is a very special place for me and that is because of all of you.
It is hard sometimes being a person with bipolar disorder because in our real lives we don't always have the filter necessary to prevent us from being vulnerable around others. I think I have just gotten so used to that scenario that I can share things freely without shame.
You guys keep me going sometimes. So many of you have reached out to me over the years that I know many of you share some of the same struggles I have. And that's why I keep sharing.
❤️

This is a great update! I'm so glad to read it. I'm really struggling right now, and reading this gives me a bit of hope. If you need to, see a therapist. Everyone has times in their lives when a therapist can be a helpful thing. They can give you tools to find your way back to where you need to be. Hugs.

What a wonderful update! I've been praying for you and your family ever since you wrote about your struggles a few months ago and I wondered how things were going with you. I really enjoy your perspective on life and mental illness. A member of my DH's family is bi-polar and your story has helped me understand this person more, so thank you!

She has been having a long distance relationship with a guy who lives quite far from us. That's so nice for her. Have you met him??

I'm very happy to read this update JG! I may not respond very often, because I just don't have the good advice that others seem to have, but I do worry about you and others when you're not doing so well.

I've been kinda spotty in the board. Not in so much but I read the dinner thread and it mentioned the great update you posted about you and DDs in another thread.
I took the time to find it and am glad I did. I am sincerely happy for you and yours.
It is hard to stop "momming" our kids and I'm sure we will to some point continue on forever. Letting go of the reigns, so to speak, and letting them be in their own control is a good thing. Not easy to do sometimes, but a good thing
Did I mention I'm happy for you, my friend?! And proud of you too if that isn't weird to say. I would venture to guess many of us here have learned or saw things from another point of view because of you. Thank you for that and rock the New Year!
