not only has my husband Storm been going slowly downhill with MS, but 2 months ago my oldest son (22) was diagnosed with schitzoaffective bipolar disorder. I am now the only person who can work, shop, maintain appointments, and keep a household. I really feel as though I could be suicidal at this point.I have to force myself out of bead each day and then force myself to leave work and go home,

Bless you for being the be-all, do-all for your family. I feel for you and your struggles, but I agree that you should explore options for getting some outside help for yourself and family. And the sooner the better!
I'm not sure where you live, but here is a link for finding a chapter of the National MS Society - http://www.nationalmssociety.org/fin...ter/index.aspx They have many services offered to help your husband (and you, as care-giver) out. Please call soon! You don't have to do this alone - OK?
If you are feeling suicidal, please call the Suicide Hotline!
800-784-2433 or 800-273-8255

I am so sorry for your predicament. But at the same time, I would like to thank you for doing it.
If your husband can contact the state, they may have programs that will help. I know here in Pennsylvania, you need to contact the state welfare office. Good luck.hunterd/HuntOP/Dave
