Thank you.
I wanted to let everyone know that I am very thankful for every one of you. I do not know any of you personally, but just having a place to vent my feelings and thoughts, with people who will not judge, has been a bright spot in my too often dark life.

And you are a wonderful addition to the group. 
and I am also grateful for our members.
Although each of our situations varies- we are all dealing with the same
challenge- mental illness.
Support is the best medicine we can offer one another.
I'm so happy to hear your daughter is doing better.
I need to do the same thing in my daughter's room.
It looks like a bomb went off, but frankly, I am so tired of the
daily "getting by" with her, scared to death each time we try a new med, etc...
I just can't rally the energy to help her clean it up-
My plan is to buy LOTS of plastic storage bins and start making piles
and sorting things out- she is an artist, an extremely talented one, as many bps are,
but honestly, her room is such a catastrophe, she can't find the things she needs to complete
any projects!
She sold a necklace on etsy, but couldn't fine it, so her solution was
to make another-
however, she couldn't find her jewelry pliers, so we had to go buy some.
Mind you, some where in her room are at least 6 or seven jewelry pliers...
But who could find them?
Not me.
I see shades of manic rising in her and I feel too tired to face it.
Thanks for being there for me too.
