Granny's gone and done it again

We have a daughter that is bipolar and suicidal. Bless her heart. She has gotten enough help to know when to ask for help. Had been in the hospital a few times. And centers. She has children and two grandchildren now..she wants to live. Her mother..my husband's former wife..she is a stepdaughter... committed suicide. It was so hard on those kids. A tough one to go into a marriage with, but we did it. A couple of the kids blamed themselves..this one that is bipolar is one of them. Not her fault, she knows, but still has a problem with it.

Its awful.

the healthcare system sucks. My Friend killed herself, about a month now. She reached out, to teachers and therapists, they brushed her off.

I went to the ER, my mom convinced them to send me home. I later found emails between my mom and my ex therapist, my ex therapist told my mom to "scare if out of her".. they took me to the ER not because they cared, but because they thought I was a joke.

Later I almost got sent to residental, but I "self regulated" for 2 weeks while they got their sh*t together, not replying to emails and lying about beds, yes we have one, no we don't. UGH.
 
The people around a suicide always blame themselves. As you know, Avary. That kept me alive, often. I couldn't do that to my kids. I finally got on some good meds. I realize now that my problem was a chemical imbalance.. like diabetes is a chemical imbalance. It can be fixed. It doesn't mean I was a bad person, or there was something morally weak or wrong with me. I live a good life now. I'm okay. It's a good feeling.
