This isn't meant to be judgmental... but how can you justify having kids when you know you have this genetic disorder that you suffer greatly from. Are you not afraid of passing this on to your children? Again, not meant to be judgmental. I am afraid of having children because I don't want to pass this on. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
I really enjoyed your video, I have Bipolar also, and I understand so much of what you said. Right now my brother is battling depression, and he is at a point where he doesn't want to talk much, he took leave from work, and he doesn't sound like the brother I used to know. I do understand what he is going through and I could only hope that he will get better, because I know he can. I take medication every day to help with this condition. He is also taking medication. He helped me when I was going through a difficult time, and now it is reverse he is going through it, and he is doing the same things I did, such as lying, locked up in his home, not doing much of anything, not eating, not sleeping well, and not talking. Now I am the one that is helping him and saying much of things he used to say to me. He may not feel or see that he will get better and will have to manage it. I have faith he will. Thanks.
Found this video very helpful and honest. Also love the dynamic of including her spouse. Spouses are often not heard from as far as their experience of living with and loving someone who struggles with mental disorders. Very well done video!
I was all ready to view this and disappointed when the link brought up 'video not found'; what's up with that!
