I will likely never have children. I would have to go off the bipolar meds for 3 months during the 1st trimester. If things got out of hand with my emotions I would have electro shock therapy (this can causememory loss and I already have enough probs with this from illnesses I have!)
It would be a joint decision for hubby and I in regards to me going off the meds.
While I was away we reduced the meds from 800mg to 600mg a day to see which dose I needed. THAT was so bad......I will likely never go off. (I know hubby doesn't want me to..and I can't say I blame him!)
I needed to hear this! ALL and I mean ALL of my "in-person" friends have kids. Most have several. ALL I've ever wanted was to be a mom. I didn't ask for abuse, bipolar, any of it.
But you are SO RIGHT Bev! My hubby loves me. I have all of you...I am SO BLESSED!
When it gets rough...I tell myself there is a family out there that needs adopting. And that is our plan...to adopt an entire family! (THIS is why organization is so import!!! If we adopt several children at once...I gotta have things REALLY effecient around here!)
Thank you sooo much for reminding me how fortunate I am and how much G-d loves me even when it doesn't feel like it.
