I can sympathise. My 15yr old has been a nightmare for 3 yrs now. She was diagnosed last year but has just gone through a massive manic. I am also Bipolar I was diagnosed in my early 20s and have been symptom free for 6 yrs now. I've learned that it is absolutely crucial to keep myself healthy and stable in order to look after her and her siblings. We are going back to the DR to get her meds looked at again and hopefully will be able to ride out this storm without too much damage.View Thread
