Taking care of yourself is VERY important.
When my daughter was diagnosed during a vile manic cycle-
I just about lost it.
I now take medication to help my constant state of fear
and battle with the depression that comes with loving
a bi polar child. It is very hard to know there is no cure
and it is a lifelong sentence.
Mopinko has been a very supportive person in my life.
Take her hand- she knows the road all too well.

I also HIGHLY recommend Just Fast.
Her website has made a HUGE difference in my life
and her books are incredibly useful too.
