Update on Son

Comment Published at 21:0921:092 comments2 comments12 Visits12 VisitsReport

My son has had to change his medication to deal with his manic moods.  He is taking ability and pristq wherein before he was taking depakote which made him really sick.  He has his ups and downs when he gets really depressed.  The good thing is that he comes and tells me when his on the verge of suicidal thoughts which we talk through theraputic techniques his counselor taught us to do.  It has helped in dealing with his mood swings.  I sometimes do feel scared to get up one morning and find him hanging.  I have to overcome that fear to move on.

Re: Update on Son

I totally understand how frustrating it is to find the right meds. I am Bipolar too but have come a long way in this lifetime. I added you as a friend would love to keep updated on your son. Feel free to talk to me anytime or even if your son wants to speak to someone who has been through the same experience as he; the offer is there also.

Re: Update on Son

 I wish your son  all the best on this new medication, hope it doesn't make him sick like the old one did.

Sounds like you have a great bond with your son, I sincerely hope he continues to come to you to talk about his thoughts and  fears. 

I think it is quiet natural to feel scared after what you have been through ( I read your story)  hope you have loved ones around to give you the support you so deserve.  You are one fantastic Mum.
