Welcome

My name is Jen. I was diagnosed bi-polar I a few years ago.

I am mother to two children, Ember, born in 2006, who is in the custody of her father, and Liam, born in 2009, whom I have custody of and am married to his father.

I started this blog to chronicle our lives and dealing with my bi-polar as a family.

Anyone who deals with bi-polar knows its a life-long illness that must be managed on a daily basis.

I am currently taking several medications, an anti-depressant, a mood stabilizer, an anti-psychotic, a sleep medicine, an anti anxiety medication, and a ADD medicine.

My husband, John, and I are trying to have another baby, this is the first time I will be pregnant and on medications.

So join me, and maybe we can learn something together.
