I was diagnosed bipolar type 2 in 1995. My son was diagnosed bipolar when he was an early teen (he's now 19). It was a constant battle to deal with his episodes (we'd suffered with them since he was 5, but no one would diagnose him). Now my daughter (16) has been diagnosed with major depression (i think it's only a matter of time before she also gets a bipolar diagnosis). I don't know how to support her when I am still exhausted from raising him and trying to get myself stable (Hurrah for menopause messing up my brain chemical balance). #bipolarmom #GenerationsOfDepression
