Tony and Beth

It seems to me that Tony has given up his share of the control at some point in this marriage, or maybe Beth chose him for a husband because of his passive nature? Either way, he needs to step up and be a stronger man. He needs to be a role model to his boys! And Beth, well she needs to do alot of soul searching about her marriage, I dont believe she is in love with her husband anymore, and if she doesnt " get real" with her issues she will continue to make those around her miserable too. Good luck you two....

11/01 The Stepford Family

Quote From: outwithit

There is a bi polar message board as well as a depression message board with wonderful caring people who have a similar situation as your own.  They will be able to offer you advise and comfort. 

    I just couldnt move on in the page without sending a reply. First I am a little confused as to how a 3 year old can have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, arent all toddlers a little moody at times? 

 Have you obtained a second opinion? Is there a significant family history? So many questions. I would be afraid of attaching such a label to such a young child. I guess the best advice I could offer is to continue with doing some research of your own and dont trust everything you read on the net. Ask a medical proffessional if they can offer you some more information that is proven by research. Dont forget to look after yourself either, you will need support by others. take care.

Difficulty Forming Friendships

Quote From: tntomboy

Can anyone tell me why it is that the second you get a boyfriend a lot of people drop all of their friends?  I seem to have done this myself, and it's like it just subconsiously happens.  I stop hanging out with my guy friends, because I feel like that's not OK unless my BF goes with.  Then, WHY on earth do I completely ignore my girlfriends?  My BF works out of town at least 2 weeks out of the month, sometimes 3.  I don't even talk to my friends then.  I am an only child and do not get lonely very easily.  I just sit around the house or go to the gym and hang out with my family.  Those are not bad things to do, but some of my friends, which I have known for years, really get angry with me about this.  It's bad to say, but it's almost like, when I have a BF, that thoughts of him consume the majority of my day.  I don't feel like that's healthy, but on the other hand, I get engulfed by it all.  Is it bad to dedicate the majority of your hours to someone that you feel one day might later be your life partner?   

     Idont know why that is, but I have lost touch with too  many friends because of the "boyfriend" thing. I think it is a poor choice on your part. Is he dumping his buddies to be with you? And who do you turn to if you need someone to talk to about the problems you are having? Life partners are just that, partners, not the only reason why you exist. Your friend will get tired of this if you continue with this behaviour.

not the solution

Quote From: maddy1975

Please, please, please see a priest! There are priests authorized by their local bishops to do excorcisms. You must see this type of priest. I'm a convert from atheism. I never believed in the devil, demons or real evil. I used to think people who believed this stuff were wacky. My conversion is a long story, but today I know beyond a doubt that this evil exists and not something to mess around with. What you're describing sounds like possesion. Please, please, please find a trusted priest. Demons are real. God is stronger. May God's angel's, especially, St. Michael, surround you.

     I dont intend to be critical of your beliefs, however, I feel you are being irresponsible in suggesting that mental illness is somehow evil and not a disease. I do believe you have the best of intentions but church in this case is not the only answer. Frequently, schizophrenics suffer with delusions that involve religious symbols and this advice may only feed into the problem, not solve it.
