Being bipolar/extreme anxiety

[helpneeded01]

It is difficult getting up and being a responsible parent let alone to do what I know I need to do. It is a daily struggle and it gets frustrating and I hate when people say its mind over matter that its all in my head like really how would u know if u don't know what I am dealing with anyone else agree?

Yes! I 100% agree. My mom used to say this all the time. "Mind over matter".

It's ridiculous. I can't control the thing that controls me.

I have a disease that makes me tired a lot. I hardly ever want to get out of bed and my son suffers because of it. And I hate it but all I can do is go day by day and try to get better.

I'm here if you need a friend.

Worst of all are the mood swings try explaining to an 8 yr old girl that mommy is fine that she cant explained to you why she started crying all of a sudden and why she was just happy about something else just a few mins ago. If don't keep myself moving all I do is sleep and it sucks not being able to sit down and read a good book or relax and read a good book.

Yea, it's so difficult to think about how it affects our children. My son is only a year old, but when i was in the hospital, he completely shut down and stopped being as close to me or as open to people. He's quiet a lot now and I know it's my fault, but maybe one day they will realize whats going on with their mommys.
