Enjoying Life with my Beautiful BP wife

As most of you know I am in hopelessly in love with a girl who is kinda fucked up (She has a Mood Disorder). Well she thinks she is fucked up but I think she is absolutely incredible and adore everything about her. I am going to keep this journal and make it public for everyone to read to give hope to people who are in relationships with someone who has a mood disorder. Like BP! My posts are not going to talk about how bad it is or go into every detail on what the episodes entail because to me that drama means very little. Its the things we do during the good times and methods we use to cope with the bad times. Ill warn you, living with my loved one is not as bad as what people may seem because I am very lucky. I found someone to love who is a fighter, 100lbs of beautiful woman that has demonstrated an ability to cope even through the hardest of times!
Stay tuned!


My wifes CBT counselor!

Apr 05 2011

   The other day I went with my wife at my request to sit in during my wife's CBT session. I was quite frustrated with my wife saying that her counselor agrees with her about the thingswe are doing to cause her stress. Saying that she agrees that I am too involved with my ex wife and the kids and myself use my wife's BP as a scapegoat and blame her for all family dysfunctions. 

     I was relieved during the session and also surprised  at how quickly my wife will turn on me trying to convince others that I indeed do things that are inappropriate which justify her untrustworthy behavior towards me. I in front of my wife explained the situation with my ex and how all correspondence is done in front of my wife or my phone and email is left open for her to look through any time. It was very sad because Buzzing truly believes her fears are real. That I am the cause of the fears and that I do things to induce these fears into her. From the counselor view point I believe she learned a great deal about her patient while I was there. I am hoping now her counselor can perhaps focus on these fear issues and irrational thinking at a much deeper level. 

    However this visit also made me come to the realization that my wife is more ill then I thought. What I thought was progress is just a starting point. It has now been confirmed that my wife is suffering from BP +++ as there is not only mood control issues but other physiological issues as well. Which is logical as it would explain the failure of med therapy.

   So from here we investigate a private clinic where perhaps my wife can stay for a brief period of time and allow elite professionals a chance to re assess and start a different form of med + psychological therapy.

Kind of disappointing but good news in a way.
