Default New to this forum, single mom of bipolar son

Hi, my name is Molly, and I am new to this forum. I am a single mom of a newly diagnosed with bipolar he also has adhd and odd. I am also diagnosed with bipolar as well. My son's symptoms include hallucinations, both auditory and visual, extreme anxiety, rage, aggression, and uncontrolled crying. He isn't stabilized on meds yet. I am struggling with fears about his disease, focusing on the future, he is only 8 years old, and I am having trouble staying in the moment. I am looking for any tips for managing symptoms, and support form other parents struggling with similar circumstances. Thanks for checking this out, and any advice or support is more than welcome.
Molly
