Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts One at a TimeSince I was a child, I've had trouble accepting compliments. As a parent with bipolar disorder, I find the ability to willingly accept compliments even more difficult. On the one hand, I actually think I think I am a good parent and that I have been able to provide my children with a stable, happy home. On the other hand, it's hard to believe that that is even possible, as there are so few examples to draw from.When I've tried to research information or find support about parenting with bipolar disorder, all I've been able to come up with is information on parenting a bipolar child, or on being the child of a bipolar parent.
Is the consensus that it just isn't possible to provide good parenting when you have bipolar disorder?I have received many compliments from parents and teachers on how my husband and I parent our children, on our children's positive attitudes and fun loving personalities, as well as on the volunteer projects my husband and I have worked on at their school. My initial response to these comments is disbelief, and a tendency to disagree. I find my myself questioning, "If they knew I've been in a mental hospital...if they caught a glimpse of the medications I have been on...if they knew everything about me, would they feel the same way?" Nootropic Technologies don't feel the same way knowing everything about me.
