I need help and I don’t know how to seek it. I was taking 300mg of Lithium 2x a day and Zoloft 100mg 1x a day, but the Zoloft made me sick. I stopped taking the meds because financially I am not able to do this anymore. I am a single mother of 4 children; ages 13, 10, 9, and 7. My 7 yr old has also been diagnosed with a mood disorder, ADHD, amongst other things. I started realizing his symptoms and it started to sound like me, but since I am an adult I can control them more than he can. I know I have bi-polar and I read all of your blogs and it sounds so wonderful to know there is someone out there like me. The problem is that I don’t have friends or family that believe I have this or even actually care. I just have my children. They say I’m making it up and how come I have it now and I didn’t when I was a kid. I tried explaining things to them, but they refuse to listen. They seemed to forget my “little incident” as they called it when I was 15 yrs old, (I am now 30) I tried to commit suicide and I was then taken to a psychiatrict ward and January of 2008, I had tried to choke my boyfriend (of 11yrs) and ended up in there again and he ended up leaving me, but who could blame him. Plus, he didn’t believe that I have bi-polar, he just says that I “act” stupid and that I am just a “drama queen” I really don’t know what to do anymore. I’m just tired of all this. I’m tired of being mad, sad, happy one minute and the next I want to just scream and rant and rave. The thoughts that just keep going through my brain that just won’t let me sleep or concentrate. I just feel lost. Could you please help me? I don’t know what else to do and I don’t know where else to find help anymore
