3. Birth of a Revelation [13+] How I came to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder. |
Hey! Friend! I just had to scope out your port. I chose to read, "Birth of A Revelation." I thought it may be something like my own. But, we all seem to have similarities, but such different situations and treatments. That is what makes this neurological disorder all that much harder to conquer. Can it be done? Your lyrics from Billy Joel were a nice touch. I really liked that. I felt sad for the author, wanting children so badly yet not being able to have them. Personally, I am not too sure all bipolar people are cut out to be parents. I've met others who had a bipolar parent and they were interesting, but not consistent with child rearing. Usually the kids had the same or worse problems. You know. I chose my hysterectomy because I didn't want to be responsible for another person other than myself, I am so selfish. I was pregnant twice in my fourties! I decided to terminate, due to the powerful drugs I was abusing, also I didn't the ex-lovers to be in my life. They were more messed up than myself. I also wanted the disorder, which is proven genetic, to end with me. Both parents had bipolar family members, so I am sure that is what happened to me. At first, I thought it was something I had done wrong and God was punishing me and I felt alone, very alone. I still do feel alone a lot, but I have a husband who is a nurses assistant and he helps me manage my meds. He had to take me to the hospital a couple of times. It was a vacation! I hated leaving. Sunflower, you are a wonderful writer as well as a person. I wrote "The 40 Year Mystery." I think I sent it to you. Do you remember? I know I have a tough time. But I remember you. You are a Sunflower in Texas! Check my port sometime. I have written some more on bipolar incidents. Love, Lesley Scott I want to read that book! My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
