Introduction

 Hello to all....

Believe i need an intro before i can post so here it goes....

Hi my name is Terri and i have recently been dignosed with bipolar, at first it freaked me out a bit but then i thought long and hard about how id been feeling and realised i already knew something was "wrong" and now im all good cos im dealing with it.... the main reason i went and saw a Dr was because of my 8 year old daughter that has ADHD, i felt i needed help dealing with that and learning how to help her rather than make it worse, turns out im the reason she has it. long story short, glad we are on the road to a better life and super excited about finding this site to help with the journey. Nice to "meet" you all and excited to be able to communicate with people going through the same thing. i felt like i was just crazy but turns out we just different and its not such a bad thing after all. :)

Hello Terri,

Welcome to the forum ! It's nice to 'meet' you as well. I'm happy you joined us.

I'm glad you're looking on the bright side of things and you are keeping a positive mind. I think being different is a good thing .
Please do not blame yourself for your daughter's ADHD. You are not at fault. Just by you going to the doctor to learn how to help her, I can tell that you are a wonderful mother .

I hope to learn more about you.

Take Care
