@gingerw I realize what you are afraid of regarding your family's reaction. Interestingly enough though, my Mom & Dad went to the Family and Friends Group at the Mood Disorders Assn. in my province. They learned so much about "why" I had developed bipolar, (because of my brain surgery), they were encouraged to offer me encouragement, understanding, hope for the future and tons of empathy. They passed the message onto my siblings who were all younger than me & I ended with support from the whole family. Support groups like this exist in more places than you realize. Love towards those who are suffering is everywhere to be found. My parents appreciated the group so much, they became leaders of the group for next 3 years. Amen.
Hi Ginger
I think you're right, I need professional help. I can't handle this on my own.
Thank you
