I am new here, and am just so depressed. Yesterday was the worst I have ever been I cried uncontrollably for hours until my face was all red and puffy.
I am 31 yrs old and diagnosed with bipolar disorder however I do not have very many symptoms of mania as a matter of fact I am just extremely low and maintain that low, every once in awhile I will become excited but thats it.
I have a 6 yr old who has been diagnosed with ADHD and is mildly mentally handicapped and Ijust wonder if some of the problems he is having is because of me, I mean he is showing signs crying on and on, getting angry, I don't know what to do anymore, I feel like I have failed everyone around me. My marriage suffers yesterday my husband did not even know what to do to help me, except hold me, I was inconsolable. My children hate me, and I am jst drinking it all away.
Can anyone help me? Very confused. I am taking my son tomorrow to a mental health facility to be checked up do I need to inform the doctor of my diagnosis too? Are they going to say I am an unfit mother because I am so depressed? I am scared and very paranoid about what they will say.
I went through alot of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse as a child and I just buried it, now I cannot even sleep right.
If you can help me at all I would love it.
