A Day in The Life – loving, learning, helping my BiPolar Son

The answer is because my head is going to explode if I do not begin writing about this topic that has weaved its way into every breath that I take. I have been struggling for the last few days, of course not as bad as my son is, because he is cycling so many times a day. For those visiting the blog I don’t have to explain cycling but for those who are new to this crazy illness, cycling means that he is on top of the world, can conquer anything in front of him and he is working out, reading, writing and functioning pretty good, then in minutes, he is depressed, sometimes suicidal, can’t get out of bed and every word that comes out of his mouth is depressing to both of us.

So, that is my reason for starting this blog. To find support for myself and add resources for others for that is the only thing I can think of to do at this moment. I will blog about his days and mine and what seems to help for the moment.

I know as a mother I should be looking at long term but dealing and surviving Bipolar up and downs keeps you focused on what will work for this moment.

Love & Peace,
Rebecca – his mom
