Mental Illness

I am a mother that suffers from Bipolar. This presents unique problems. Mental illness still has a stigma associated with it. It isn't like saying I am a mother that has Diabetes or any other illness. It is something many people do not want to share with others.

I am in a constant fight with wanting to be a great mother while at the same time trying to rise above the symptoms associated with Bipolar. Some of those symptoms are depression, mania and anxiety. Yes, I do take medication. However, Like with any other illness, the medication isn't a cure-all. It helps with the symptoms but does not take them all away.

So, my hopes with this blog is to inspire others to have the confidence that they can be a great parent while also having a mental illness. The key is to stay on top of your illness. You can't let it get you down. I know that is easier said than done.
