parenting with mental health issues EDIT
I'm expecting my rainbow baby girl in early February. I have BPD, (borderline personality disorder). I'm wondering how other moms on here have coped with having a mental illness while parenting. Do you feel it effects the way you parent? Weather you have BPD, bipolar, depression, or any other mental illness, I'm curious. Do you notice pros and cons of how it effects you?
Edit-
Yes I'm in therapy. Yes I see a doctor. I handle my self very well. I've been going to therapy much more since getting pregnant but once my daughter is born I will be back on my medication. For the most part I live a stable life but my emotions can be very intense which is why I am in therapy. I know I will be a good mother, mental illness or not. I'm just wondering the way it is for others in my situation :)
