...See more Hi everyone My names maria and im bipolar. being bipolar makes alot of sence when it come to the story of my life. ever since i can remeber i have had problems with the tidal waves of being bipolar. when i was a child we moved alot and my mother has been threw alot of boyfriends that we have moved in with. it actually cause alot of harm condidering that we moved school every 3 months and it was very hard for me to make new friends. My mother moved into a new boyfriends and me and my sister ened up getting molested for almost a year. then she moved in with my brother father wihich was a very abusive and unhealthy relationship to begin with. at that time i ended up beating my sister everyday. i was in grade 5 at that time. so when i was first started highschool i was noticing that the cycles where getting worst and my mom tried to have me hospitalized at 17. but i denied to get checked out because i was scared of being labeled as being "mentally ill". i was always being kicked out of my mothers house and was living on the streets. we jjust didnt understand why i was the way i was. so i finally ened up getting my own apartment at 17 and felt alittle bit better but still having manics and depresive moments. but i just thought it was how people were. ended up getting in alot of abusive relationships and ened up getting an abortion and had one miscarrige due to using drugs like extasy, coke, and perks. i have been off all drugs for 3 years now and had an amazing son with my boyfriend. also i didnt know i was bipolar and considering being bipolar, being preganant and just losing my father i was a walking disater. i finally went to the crisis center in my town because i knew something was wrong, and felt that way since i was little., and finally got put on some medication. and has been on them for about 7 months now and im already feeling something i never felt before, a happy medium. which is amazing by the way because im able to take care of my amazing son with out staying up for days at a time or sleeping for a whole day. i always needed help taking care of him but now im able to teach him things i never knew i could. now im pregnant again and have no idea what to do or to make a decision on how to deal with it considering that i finally am stable. ahhhh i always said my life is like tidal waves good for alittle bit then the downs were horrible. i dont want to be off my medication. thanks for listening
