Update on Stephen
Posted by: zyriana on: October 7, 2007
I just published a post I wrote last week but never published. So I thought I’d bring the information to a close, and move on a bit.
Stephen is 15 and attempted suicide by taking a mix of prescription medication he found around the house. He was hospitalized for a bit, and we did indeed get him back on Monday. He’s home now and has been very understanding of his mother trailing his every move. The medicine he’s taking for bi-polar makes him so sleepy, but otherwise he says he feels good.
I have a positive view on life and I believe that truly we go through life learning what our spirits get to learn. However, this has taken a bit of a toll on me and I’m having a brief moment of panic every few minutes then I get so tired I feel I could sleep in the very spot I’m at.
So, that’s what’s been going on that blogging hasn’t happened.
Love and Light to you and yours… I’ll just keep being overbearing momma for a bit more. 
Love Monica

Hi Melissa:
Thank you so much for commenting. At one point I wanted to ask if anyone had bi-polar and wouldn’t mind sharing. So thank you so much for offering your information. Huge hugs to you.
I keep thinking “if I only had watched”, but I know that’s not something I would have been able to detect really. But as you know as a mom, we take things and turn them into guilt at times when they are related to our kids.
Thanks for the Hang In There! That’s what we are doing, day by day.
Love and Light,
Mon

so after talking to you, I looked up manic-depression and I guess I’m technically bi-polar too or at least that’s what they diagnosed me with years and years ago. Sucide – honestly I don’t remember if I ever tried it, you know the drugs messed up some of my memories but I definetly think that blogging and getting it out of his head and into the world will help him. At the time they put me on prozac, my lows were very low, so much that I had trouble getting out of bed and going to work. And look at me now, it does get better. I refuse to talk any more addictive drugs so I cope with it by writing and being creative and working on 20 things at once 
I still have low days, Daniel’s seen them but the good days far outweigh the bad days now. Tell Stephen if he wants to talk about it, I can listen (not being his mom and such)

Hey there! Thanks for the offer for Stephen. It’s ALWAYS good to have someone else besides momma to talk to you know? Especially when someone else understands more of what’s happening…
He’s really really tired right now and it’s worrying me. I’m going to call the doctor tomorrow ’cause I am really worried….
Love you!
Mon

I’m bi-polar and I know what you are going through (and what he is going through). I’m a 3 time suicide survivor. I’ve been in therapy and on medication for 2 years. It gets better. Hang in there.
I also have a son who will be 15 in December. I keep a very close eye on him because bi-polar disorder is inherited.
