Although each of our situations varies- we are all dealing with the same
challenge- mental illness.
Support is the best medicine we can offer one another.

I'm so happy to hear your daughter is doing better.

I need to do the same thing in my daughter's room.
It looks like a bomb went off, but frankly, I am so tired of the
daily "getting by" with her, scared to death each time we try a new med, etc...
I just can't rally the energy to help her clean it up-

My plan is to buy LOTS of plastic storage bins and start making piles
and sorting things out- she is an artist, an extremely talented one, as many bps are,
but honestly, her room is such a catastrophe, she can't find the things she needs to complete
any projects!

She sold a necklace on etsy, but couldn't fine it, so her solution was
to make another-
however, she couldn't find her jewelry pliers, so we had to go buy some.

Mind you, some where in her room are at least 6 or seven jewelry pliers...
But who could find them?

Not me.

I see shades of manic rising in her and I feel too tired to face it.
Thanks for being there for me too.
