You are right about the eating right,but have to remember not everyone has the same body chemistry.

What will work for one, will not work on the next.

She is doing soo much better now with her HUGE diet change.

Hope this helps.

no..no... not my binders....take my purse instead..........

My oldest DD was diagnosed with ADHD at 3... and Bi-Polar at 5.. We have been around the world and up and down with this disorder. Special Ed classes for 5 years. but then, we backed her down 3 grade levels to her learning ability and she did better in school.. after moving up several years with the same kids'. she has went well past the dr.'s exspectations.. She caught up in school.. She is now almost 18 (March, 2012), she is a Jr. in High School regular class still and striving well.. She will only graduate 1 year behind her regular timeframe..Sometimes we have issues as she get's fixed on certain things and OCD tendencies come out.. but overall, We have had great Dr.'s, Therapists and support from our School district. I worry when she get's out on her own, will she be able to do all she need's to take care of her self. But her head is on straight and you would never know she has Bi-Polar if you passed her on the street. She is my miracle child. At one time our dr's wanted to put her in a group home when she was 7. If you can get the med's right.. anything is possible.. We have not changed med's in the last 10 years.. and we are doing well.. If you need any help or have any questions..I can right a book about this..as we have been there and done that...

don`t have the funds. Is soo weird, because right before she tried to kill herself this last time , she gave me a really
nice card with a long note, saying how she looked up to me for helping mom & dad over the years, and how I knew soo much,
etc, etc. So kind of made me feel terrible when she did try to kill herself.
She took four bottles of benadryl. They had to revive her, and she had to be in the syc ward for over a month, this last
time.

She is doing better, but mainly because she changed her diet. She loves to cook, but not from a can or microwave. She cooks
the way our great grandparents cooked. Maybe she felt that life was not worth living. Heck, who really knows, I am just
thankful she is okay. She explained into details how she felt right before she died. Not good at all. I guess first
your hearing goes, then you go in & out. :(

Have a super christmas and take care of yourself. Better days are just around the corner and remember we all LOVE you here
on RS.......

Posted on Dec-09-11 at 06:43 PM (Eastern) by 50.42.142.114

I will carry/keep this card close to me always, til the day I die. I never really looked at myself
the way she does.

the card on the front has two ladies all dressed up having a cocktail sitting at a bar. and says,
The key to happiness is to have an open mind and an open heart.

and the note inside reads:

Judy,

I know life has been quite a bit more hectic lately for you!

I just feel the need to let you know a few things.

You are my only sister - that is very special!

You have been so reliable & helpful to mom & dad for many, many years and even just
this one fact about you makes me proud to be your sister.

Through these actions of yours, I have not only seen your obligation , but your abundant concern & care
(your love) for our family.

By sticking together as sisters & helping each other where we can, we will get through this tough time & help dad to get through it as well. It
will contribute to his recovery if we all work together as a team as much as possible.

I will always be here for you - for mom & dad, too. I just need to be told what to do & I will do my best to help in whatever capacity I can.

I do hope that you & I could one day have a "sisters day" - a fun day together. Lets mot miss out on that!

Keep up the good work & try to endure~

I love you.
You r "lil" sister...

I still feel terrible about not knowing how she felt. Maybe she was reaching out to me, and I did not realize? But do know I am soo thankful she
is still here and should be. She is nine yrs younger than I am. Life is no peach and I know I have a rough road ahead of me. With not only
still helping mom & dad, but trying to be closer to her. I think she needs this. I let her come to work with me one day, and she kept saying
how she was soo proud of me. HUH. I guess I have never looked at myself that way. I have always been a caring , sharing person all my life.
She only worked the one day, and I did take it easy on her. Thing is , with this business, there are always unexpected things to hold you back
from gettihg anywhere. Got down the road , and the brake line blew. Was hauling a backhoe , so had to climb underneath the service truck and
pinch the brake line completely off. Lucky for us, I had the trailer brakes to use to stop. So that day was just one of many that I have
had to deal with. All I know is, Life is way too short to worry about little things. I try my best to look to the future and by happy no
matter what life throws my way.

:)
~Judy in MI~ P. S. I am thinking about sending her a card, and tell her just how much she means to me. Do you think that would
be a good idea?

Sorry for going on & on.

If she was trying to reach out to you she was being very subtle.. She really looks up to you and needs you to be there for her.. I know working with bi-polar is hard.. I tried to work but there are days i still cant get out of bed.. i spent the day there just sad and lonely and depressed.. it is a hard disease to fight and win since there is no cure only meds to help with the symptoms.. My sister is also bi-polar so we arent extremely close, but we arent that far apart either.. I have more anger issues then she does, so its hard for us to relate to each other.. bi-polar has so many different levels.. If you need to talk Judi just shoot me an email.. I would love to help any way I can :)

Will send her a card, but first have to think over how I want to word it. I`m not much in to showing my feelings.

The very ONE
thing I still have to do, is tell both mom , dad, sister, etc that I LOVE THEM. Not sure why, but those are such strong words
and for some reason they will not come out. :(( I had planned on telling dad at the hospital after everyone left, but just
could not do. Why? I care more than they will ever know. I am sure they know, by my actions.

My older brother also has bi polar. But he also has other issues, skitso phrenia (very paranoid) I am not good at spelling by far.
:)

Happy Holidays and may the new year bring you good health, happiness and joy thru out the year.

My family was never demonstrative with feelings and so I was like that in my 20's. I knew that when I had kids I wanted them to hear how much they were loved and so I had to really work at learning how to tell people that.

Fast forward to now (20 years later) and my kids hear that frequently as does the rest of my family. I can totally relate to you for thinking that it is hard to do, but if I can do it, you can too! :)

Hoping you find the words! Vanessa

from her heart. I would've been bawling my eyes out! I think it's a wonderful idea to send her a card and also would be nice to get together for a "sister's Day" once a month or so. I know how hard it is to tell your sister and parents that you love them. My Mom was the same way growing up. It was very hard for her to show her love. In all the years I've known her, I don't ever recall her saying that she loved me. Believe me it hurts. However, with my 4 girls, I'm the complete opposite. I've always shown my love, giving hugs/kisses to my girls growing up every single day. Now that they're all grown up, when I see them, always give me a hug and when it's time to leave, I say love you! Even my youngest who's 16, still wants me to tuck her in and say love you! I made it a habit with them and I know they'll do the same if they have children someday. I know you can do it Judy. Tell them while they're still here. Sharon:) 20|5|Oh you guys. :) I have been working up to it. |driller|harj@frontier.com|21:28:32|12/09/2011|

Posted on Dec-09-11 at 09:28 PM (Eastern) by 50.42.142.114

Like you guys, I grew up the same way, never heard the words. But now when my sister came along nine years later
things changed. I kind of help spoil her. She had the most love out of all four of us.

But I don`t hate her for that. I would never be that way.

TY for letting me know that I am not the only one who did not hear it while growing up. I know it makes a huge
difference.

Now , each day mom tells me at least once, if not more that she loves me. Like today, when I didn`t go over there,
she called and right before she hung up she said I LOVE YOU. I almost said it today, but I really want to do it
in person.

My sister has suggested that I need to do so, and I already know that. We were going out to lunch once a month, but
due to her hubby being let go of his job of 30 + years, they really can`t afford it. I do try to help her by sending
in refunds whenever possible. I know it makes her day , when she goes out to her mailbox and instead of all bills
she gets checks.

Now more than ever, since dads mishap this last father`s day, he too has been telling me every chance he gets that he
loves me. be careful. Some days, when I think about it, it makes me cry and choke up. Usually it doesn`t bother me
too much when anyone is around, just when I am alone.

TY again , Kandy , Vanessa and Sharon for sharing your thoughts on this. Has really been bugging me, as if I don`t
have enough on my hands to worry about as it is.

((hugs)) from MI

Try no red's or yellows colors in his diet and cut the sugar and caffine out or atleast to a minimum. It will start to help in a few days. Lithium did not work for my dd.. She also was a rapid cycle person. She now drinks lot's of water, caffine free tea and only 1 can soda daily that has caffine in it.

Your life was almost like mine. But when the med's are regulated, I promise it does help. I too am like you, you can not make them take the meds or see the dr's or anything else.. You just hope and pray that today you will not have any issues and they are taken. Our office now consider's my daughter an adult and now I am not allowed into the dr's office with her.. We have a new dr and therapist.. Our old one's have both changed jobs.

I hope you find peace in all you do.. You can only do what your mind, body and soul will allow. Always, remember, when he's having a really bad day and you can not take it anymore and you want to throw in the towel.. Tomorrow is another day, the sun will shine again, you will have had some rest and when he wakes up, you will see him smile or say "good morning momma". And your heart will melt as it always does. And it is a new day :)

My sister goes to holistic doctor. They do natural and so far is working.

The low fat no fat diet is not good. Your brain is made up of mostly fat, so if deprived of that fat, your body will
act out and tell you .

Somethng to do with the white or red cells, now I wish I could remember. But they can be changed by changing certain foods
and drinks.

A good fat would be coconut oil. I eat this myself , right off the spoon, but if he can`t tolerate, then you can get the gel
caps. If nothing else , make smoothies and replace with whatever you are using now for cooking oil. Can buy it in a jar
at most stores, but not all. There are much better tasting ones, which are nutiva brand, and more. I would not buy the
spectrum. It taste terrible.

I think only you will be able to do more research and experient. The way I see it, the meds are not working anyways, so what
do you have to lose? And if you could get him to go back to the doctor, then what? Just seems this has been going on way
to long.... and it really does need attention asap.

You do need your sleep. NOT good to be soo stressed. Not good on your heart. You will get very sick if you are run down. :(

I hope this helps and I am sure you will get other input on this . Everyone has their own opinions on what to do . I have heard
that flourscent lighting also can bring on triggers of anger, rage, acting out.

~Judy in MI~ Hang in there, you can get thru this. I will be praying and hoping you will get to the bottom of the cause and hoping it
can be resolved soon................... 28|10|Healthy oils..like fish oil are very important for raising serotonin levels|Quietwaters|Quietwaters39@hotmail.com|09:10:04|12/10/2011|

you can not let him be abusive to you or your family. There comes a time where you have to let someone else help him, because you can no longer. It sounds like you are in a vicious cycle with him. You have to set up bounderies, even when someone is dealing with mental illness, they seem to know who they can be abusive too, and who will not allow it. Allowing him to abuse you causes him more harm than good in the end.

I know how hard this is, and pray for you to find some support to help your family in this bad situation.

26|1|SVS Betty.. I wihs I had answers for you, but if he doesnt want to help himself noone can help him.. I went from age 14 to 34 until I went and was diagnosed as bi-polar.. but I wouldnt listen to anything anyone told me that there was something wrong.. I got in an old lady's face at the cvs parking lot because she allowed her door to hit my car, I was screaming at her over a little nick.. I knew at that point I needed help.. Im still snippy and mean at times, but still trying to control it|kandywolf|kandywolf@gmail.com|01:50:25|12/10/2011|
