@autumnrenea1990, my entire family moved to Florida a few years ago. I live in Michigan. My brother doesn’t have insurance and no job. He also refuses to be on his meds and the only way my parents will help with anything is if he goes back to inpatient facilities. Right now he’s saying that he’s moving somewhere very far away but he doesn’t know where. He’s on community service and banned from a store because he stole stuff from them. There isn’t much that I can do though because I am 1200 miles away from them. He gets upset over stuff that wouldn’t be hard for a lot of other people so I have to explain and help him understand the part that he doesn’t. It’s hard and frustrating sometimes but I’m his sister and he’s part of my family and I’m always going to do whatever I can for him. Last year I moved him to Michigan and took him in for 4 months because our parents left him homeless down in Florida.
@mommysaurusx6 wow yea sounds a lil like my kids father 😩i been wrecking my brain on what to do with him and how to handle him when he wont go get help ....he just went thur a major surgery this week and he is in the hospital suppose to be recovering but he is so angry been snapping on me and his family and the nurses we spoke to his doctor about his mental state but didnt get much besides they will send a social worker to his room, but he gets mad if anyone tells him he should get some help or even suggest or if anyone says anything about help
@autumnrenea1990, I also suggest you look into support groups for yourself. It’s a hard journey dealing with someone with bipolar. You need support too.
@sistersmainpiece yea thats exactly how i been feeling because right now he wont go get help he just says he will but dont follow thur and its driving everyone nuts his family ,me and our kids
Yes, my father was bipolar and had depression. My 6 yr old son is bipolar and has ADHD. Did you have any questions or was there something you wanted to talk about?
Yes how to handle it how to live with it ...i am realizing that my kids father may have it idk if he was ever diagnosed because he wont tell me if they ever diagnosed him while he was in prison , but i am almost certain he has it
