I'm bipolar and reaching out. For a kind ear, for a connection, to be there for others.

Hello, I'm new here. I'm bipolar, having been diagnosed in my twenties. In recent years, I've been in low depressions rather than manic episodes. I'm soon to be an empty nestor... Single mom, kid starting college in the fall. Going through a very lonely period, but it's next to impossible for me to get out of my head and reach out. Not even to close friends or family. I'm here listen, learn and begin opening up. To try to live again.

Forget that empty nester label. Trust me. Your child will make frequent visits home. Mostly to do laundry and raid your fridge.

True that! She'll be halfway across the country, but I know she'll find a way back.

[Hidden in reply to AGWolf59]

They always do. Maybe you can even visit her. Bring your laundry and eat her food for a change. It’s a perk of being a parent.

Thank you Here_I_am At least she's a good cook.

[Hidden in reply to AGWolf59]

She learned from the best I bet. You can sit back now and be proud of the job you did in raising her.
