that's great for you and that's all that matter. is that u know your a good mom don't let any other mommas tell u otherwise regardless if your situation 😊

@mandi0101111 thank you I am a good mom and I know when I'm not ok I have a good plan and great support

a parent should be stable in general weather it's mentally financially or maturity. I mean I don't think it's a good idea to have childern in the mist of trying new medication or a break down pregnancy is hard in general and if your illness isn't stable it could only make things worse same goes for parents who have other illnesses like diabetic or high blood pressure. or even on maturity level like a parent who is using drugs and financially if neither parents have jobs. it makes it really hard. but like I said by no means does that mean any mother who does get pregnant in a situation like this that there an unfit mother. it would just be easier if things were stable. I still think it's wrong that that woman said that she had no right I don't mean to say she shouldn't be a mother. she deserves to be mommy. like you said God gives us the childern were ment to have. and don't feel down mama as long as you know your a good mommy that's all that matters don't let her get to you ❤

@mandi0101111 it's I a hurt I know all to well and your people should be stable but to me that's like telling here she should not of had a child cause she has an illness but I'm not that way I think your only given the children you are ment to have

I agree that's it's best that a mother with mental illnesses should be stable before trying to reproduce but in no way does that mean she can't be a good mother. people shouldn't be labeled like that because they have a mental illness and that was rude and uncalled for that she said that. I can't imagine how much that hurt you.

@delilahsmommy2015 I avert with you that's why I have been off when I noticed myself getting thoughts againg I decided I needed meds I workout rat right but my mind takes over

@brie15 same her it sucks

yeah i could not deal with the zombie feeling and i had like no emotions and i agree being manic im like superwomen but lately i have been battling more depression then mania

@brie15 I hate meds also I don't like the zombie felling and I must admit I love being manic I get so much done but for my kids I need meds looking into what to take breastfeeding @delilahsmommy2015 I agree with you some people are dumb normally I ignore the stuff ppl say I be live I am mor sensitive seeing as I just had a baby

yw i grew up in the system so i have been diagnosed since i was twelve i know how hard it can be to cope and congrats on 11 months that is a big thing i am one of those people who refuses meds a rebel if you must say i thought i could do it but with my kids diagnoses and their behavior issues then dealing with 3 going on 4 under 4 plus my man works i go to school and i really have no friends im always helping other and never help myself i have been struggling a little so i am going to call this Dr i found who treats pregnant women and breast feeding mothers so they know which meds are safe to take so i can get back on meds and i am trying to get back in therapy and stuff but i think if i had this much stuff on my plate minus the kids i would be high or cutting myself to deal with the stress

@brie15 thank you so much for you kind words I found out in 2008 after my 3rd baby I have five now and my kids mean the world to me it took 3 hospital stays to find out what was wrong I never really cut but I did burn myself instead my kids keep me sane

and a lot of sane people are worse parents then people with mental illness

@dawn

@ dawn that person was unhappy with themselves dont let them get to you i am not on my meds right now and deal with a lot but the fact that i am aware of my symptoms and signs help me to not channel that onto my kids or hurt myself for my kids sake i used to cut do drugs crazy shit people do when they are super.depressed but my kids svaed me if i didnt have them i really would have nothing i cared about enough to give a shit what happens to me but knowing they depend on me they would hurt if i did that keeps me pushing along and i promise you as long as when it gets too bad you cant deal you seek the proper help you will be just fine and if your over stressed or feeling some way that makes you feel like you cant be around your baby for fear of something it doesnt make you a bad mother to lay the baby in its bed and walk away for a break for a few minutes or call someone and ask if they will babysit you just need an hour to breath and thats for all moms you will be fine girl dont stress

@milatocutie right lol

@brie15 I have been episode free for 11months and now scared I will I can be a crazy also

Lmao @brie15 I would have cussed them out but that's just me they would have felt god awful for saying what they had . and crazy is good lol

that's great @dawn they dont deserve your friendship. ☺

i have bipolar as well i worry if my kids will have problems the first two do but honestly i feel its gods will and i didnt do anything wrong it just happens but ill be damned if i let someone say i shouldnt have kids because of my illness i am sorry that happened to you you handled it well cause i woulda showed her my illness for real and slapped the snot outta her and then went and criwd in peace thats just me though i am a little on the crazier side then most people lol

@milatocutie am no longer going to talk to the person @annabanana2005xx I hope you never do either I beyond hurt never sense I was diagnosed have I heard that

wow. I'm sorry. no one has said that to me yet. and I am bipolar as well. I hope to NEVER hear something like that...if I do I would probably go.off on them

@dawn,

oh no so they know you have an illness yet they still said that, I have epilepsy and if I had a so called friend that said that too me they would longer be my friend. Smh some people are very closed minded. I'm so sorry hun

@milatocutie and what's worse is That I thought they were a friend and I am very open about my illness it helps me to talk but that made me not want to ever say anything again

@dawn,

omg how dare they say something like that! !
