Answer 2

sounds like bipolar

as a person with the same issues,  and being a parent,  i'm not single but i do give you great kudos,  kids are not easy.  but when your in that predicament "ending it all"  is not an answer thats just the easy way out your child needs you especially since you are doing it all by yourself.

just try and be as strong as you can,  doing what your doing all by yourself is a miracle worker.

and if you can see a psychiatrist i don't know your insurance but im sure you could get medicaid and that helps especially when your having those problems.

sometimes its hard to ask for help,  but sometimes you have to do what you have to do

god bless

Before you do anything...go to see a doctor. Tell them what's going on. Also you might want to see a therapist...particularly one who specializes in various disorders like panic, etc.

It really could be anything. For example, I have everything you mentioned but it's due to the fact I've been sick for 12 years with a variety of illnesses including panic/anxiety disorder, neurocardiogenic syncope, Multiple Sclerosis, severe depression with suicidal tendencies...

Please do not put alot of stock in websites that tell you all the symptoms of certain diseases/disorders and try to diagnose yourself. You can freak yourself out just doing that. PLease go to a doctor...they are the ones that can diganose you, not a website.
