My daughter has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for over
15 years now. For about the last 2 weeks she has been depressed
and that is putting it mildly. She and her husband got into it
today and it is a very ugly situation. She is irrational and
insanely angry with life, hubby, me and most anyone and
everything around her. They are fortunate that neighbors
have not called the police.
She needs to see her doctor and will not.....
Please keep my daughter in your prayers....
Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl
. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
