MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times.

probably most of the people here can, that's why most of us are here. for me, it's my wife. she is actually very stable and functions as well as any normal person, i just come here to help others nowadays! perhaps reading some of the other posts will help you some. all the best!

I know. If it would just slow down the anger/fighting with her boyfriend. He is ready to kick her out and I begged him to give it a while longer.

Hi, racefan, and welcome to the group.

My husband of 24 years was diagnosed as having bipolar.

My husband takes care of his illness, so it isn't bad usually.

I also make time for me, and things i enjoy.
