So here's an update.... dad is definitely going manic again.... I finally talked to him on Monday the 23rd I believe, without Brent there. Of course he tried to smooth everything over

i'm so sorry you're having to go through all this. god, a tear is falling down my cheek thinking of all the awful, insane things i put my loved ones through. have you ever considered/tried an intensive inpatient program? that did wonders for me, as well as my family.

*hugs* good luck with everything, manic depression is a horrible disease, but can be made livable. it lots of patience and understanding (on all parts), but can definately be overcome.

thanks for your comment lady.... I haven't ever really considered an intensive inpatient program...

My dad has never been a proponent of believing in therapy. I have gone to counseling off and on for years, and usually the conversation always goes back to dealings with my dad.

Right now the healthy therapy I have for myself is writing, drawing and playing outside with my doggies.

I need to get into doing more exercise because that was always a good outlet for me too.

playing with my dogs is the best therapy i've *ever* had =)
