My daughter was recently diagnosed with Bipolar. It is very hard on her and myself, for the reasons of 1. it hurts to see her suffer during an episode 2. my other 5 children want to help and don't know what to do. The article about disrupting a set schedule is so what has happened to my daughter, no band in her schedule because of the conflict with athletics which is because of the collage blocks the district has adopted and this is something that she has had in her life for the past 3 years and all her episodes have occured since she stated high school and she had to give up one of the things she loves to do Play her trumpet and be a part of the band. She hardly picks up her trumpet,her guitar or the drums. Her passion for Basketball has gone as well and all this could have been avoided if the school would allow for music to be a part of her. The collage block is like this 4 classes a day for about 1hr 90min so that you are in band or athletics every day, the give athletics,math, health & science and the next day is athletics, english,computers & History and then repeat the 1st day etc.. another change and all of her episodes could have been avoided if all would have stayed as a normal school, instead of trying to make my freshman a collage grad. I only hope that I can get her through all the rough spots and make her healty strong.
