Brandi_S's advice column

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.

I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.

Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.

Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.

I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

So when you go visit a gyno and get checked out, and he finds something out, for example, you having a disease or something ? Do they tell your parents ? Or do they keep it a secret ?

Thanks in Advance !

They have to keep it between you and them, unless you say otherwise.

They have to abide by doctor/patient confidentiality, which means the things you are seen for, your illnesses, your treatments, your prescribed meds, etc., are all kept confidential.
