    She is actually doing well. And, instead of hurting herself when she is depressed (she is bipolar) she can now contact her health team and ask to be admitted. And she has actually built herself a life. She has been married for a few years now and she is employed part-time. Mind, she is herself...

However, she and her husband were at an anime' festival when she saw a very young woman in a potentially dangerous situation with an abusive boyfriend, and they stepped in.

    daughter says that "psychosis is like a screaming toddler"..... this is too cute not to share!

    Like many people with bipolar, my daughters symptoms come and go. And, no medications work for very long with her, but fortunately she is stable more often than she is ill.

    I think that my son needs SSI

    He has aspergers and mild bipolar, and while he has tried a couple of jobs he has not done well at them and then he quits. He is, and always has been a very emotional person who does not tolerate stress very well. People do not usually realize this because he has a flat affect and he does not...

    A question about homebound

    My daughter is in the P hospital again. One of her major triggers is the school: we have known this for a long time but in the past she has held it together. School is where her friends are and she WANTED to go. We are having a meeting tomorrow AM to figure out what to do about her schooling: she...

    Social skills classes for Aspies?

    My son has just been diagnosed with atypical aspergers. Basically, this kid needs help and aspergers is the closest diagnosis that she can come up with. It isn't a close fit, but close enough. The psychiatrist especially wants him to take social skills classes, in the school if possible but he needs to...
