Bipolar Single Mon With ADHD Bipolar Son Seeks Grant Money Replacing Salary

by Martha Paige Hall
(Charles City, Virginia, USA)

Four years ago I weighed 310 lbs. When I could not get out of bed any more because of my weight, depression and bipolar disorder set in.

I receive gastro bypass surgery. And the first six weeks I almost lost my life, but by strong will and the grace of God I made it.

Since then it's been numerous surgeries and very serious illness. It's an up and down roller coaster.

You can see why it's hard for me to keep a job.

Now I suffer from debilitating migraines that are ending with me being transported to the hospital by ambulance. I have no memory of this.

Stress brings these headaches on. My rent is two months behind, my lights are about to be turned off and my car broke down.

My son is ADHD bipolar and MR. He has outbursts every day with temper tantrums. And sometimes he is hard to control. He's a big boy for fourteen.

I have osteopenia so he's broken a few ribs by accident. So you can see why I cannot sleep at night and I have migraines all the time.

My bipolar is off the hook. Every time I take one step forward I get pulled two steps back. How can I look at my son and say we have nowhere to live. Please help us!
