Parenting a young adult with emerging bipolar disorder during the pandemic is no picnic. I mean, right?

Q is having a bad health day.
Got him to take his vitamin D and hemp oil, with his nutritional shake ( #ashwagandaisourfriend )
Feeling Lots of pressure to go with a traditional medicine approach. PRX. Doctors. Invasive procedures.
Instead we are doing
- Nutritional shakes
- Herbs
- Whole foods
- Aroma therapy
- Lots of walks
- animal therapy
- Volunteering
- 12 steps
- Prayer
- Fasting
- Light therapy
He feels like crud a lot of times. But then I’ve seen mentally ill folks feel worse with a more western medicine approach!

I wish I didn’t have to watch him suffer,
but
I don’t want an easy life for my kids–I want them to be people of character, right?
