Hey I’ve been thinking, thinking I need to stop trying to fix things, fix Molly….

At the last meeting in Newcastle I was told Molly, may be without Symptoms for many years however, it will return at somepoint.

That was actually very hard to swallow, I think I thought we were going to fix her.

A few days ago I asked myself, when is enough, enough?

Molly is unapologetically herself, Molly Claire Vigar Prince.

Yes, she is different and yes we, all of us are unique. maybe and only maybe when, and only once her physical functioning has improved, I should…..

or must,

or maybe,

try to,

let go,

let her be,

and..

step back.

Let go, let God.

After all said and done, I will most likely leave the ‘here and now’ well before her.

‘Google’, my dear friend, my informant tells me:

‘Yes, symptoms of bipolar disorder are likely to return at some point, even with treatment. It’s estimated that at least 75% of people with bipolar disorder will relapse, and some estimates are even higher, with one study suggesting almost 90%. However, with consistent treatment, including medication and therapy, it’s possible to manage episodes and live a stable life.’

I will do what I need to do when it feels right, I only want to support her to be the best version of who she is meant to be.

BTW, she is doing ok, no recent sickness, new bowel medication is in place, ‘new for now’ behaviours reappearing, changing PJ’s several times through the night, repetitive speech, some confusion.

The Serenity prayer reminds me to ask for wisdom, so that’s what I will do🙏🏻

Now let me see…

Nite

Luv C x
