My Mother
I am the luckiest person in the world when I get sick. My mother is always there for me. I can only imagine what it’s like for her. I don’t ask her about it much as it would make me cry. She does what she has to do. When I’m suicidal, she reminds me to use my Health Cards. When I’m manic she gets out my cards to remind herself what to do. Actually, she has them memorized now, so she doesn’t have to read them anymore.
I can remember being so depressed one day I rolled around on the floor sobbing. Imagine being a mother and having to see your child go through that! It breaks my heart- so I just do what I can to be the best daughter possible.
Are you a mother with a child who has bipolar disorder? I take my hat off to you, that’s for sure!
