6/18/2008 - Thinking Can Lead To Destruction

Well being stuck in the middle of two siblings sucks. Both of them got married this year and well it once again has me thinking. Will I ever take that leap or am I destined to stay alone? Then there is the whole baby thing. I want to have a child or two of my own yet I think with these illnesses I won’t be a good mother. I mean sometimes I think I can and others I feel I’d fuck up and have my child taken away. Damn this head of mine!

I understand your concerns about having children. I think I, too, wouldn't have the patience to deal with kids (I have bipolar, too). It would be nice if they were perfect angels all the time, but when I see kids misbehaving and whining, it really irritates me, and I don't think I could handle it. Plus, I wouldn't want to pass on my disorder.

But, there are many bipolar parents who are able to be good parents, I'm sure. And the disorder isn't always passed on. (My brother managed to escape it.) And even if it is, with today's meds, it's a lot easier to manage than in the past...

So, don't give up on the thought of having kids, if you really want them! :-)
