My Life as I see it...

Dear Mr. Bipolar,

I have a few questions that I was hoping I could get answered.  My first question is if I ever did something to warrant, or ask, for your presence in my day to day life...for the rest of my life.  What did I do, if anything, and how can I make it right again so that you leave me alone?  You see, while it could be considered a good thing to have something s

I was doing fine...but apparently that was just a short spell.  I appear to do very well until something that I consider to be very stressful or hurtful happens.  For instance, my husbandwas asked to be in a wedding party of a friend of his.  I know this friend and have met his soon wife to be and parts of his family once or twice, but I don't really know any of them.  W

My husband has a job that requires him to be on call everyday, and he often has to trouble shoot on weekends.  I was never a fan of being the wife who had to deal with a husband with crazy hours.  When we were dating he was a single dad and his job never asked crazy hours of him because of that.  Ever since me they've been pulling him away for all sorts of things.  He had t

I saw my pdoc last week and explained to him that my meds have not kicked in yet and I really need a fast acting mood stabalizer to take short term until we find the dose of Lamictal that I need tobe on.  He prescribed Geodon and increased my Lamictal dose.  I'll tell you what...I feel so much more grounded now.  This past week has been awesome!  My husband told me last

With the knowledge of my disorder I have begun consiously trying to think things threw before I act.  I know I have a problem of reacting before I allow myself time to let it sink in.  Well, today is Thanksgiving.  I went with my husband to an inlaws for dinner and was enjoying myself with all the family and friends, but felt a little ignored in a way by my husband.  Of cour
