MDJunction to me

mobey"MDJunction has become a lifeline to my recovery. I use this site as a daily coping tool where i can share my thoughts,my fears and ask ways to cope with living life with a illness. I also found new friends here and they have restore my faith in humanity. People everywhere come here to share same problems or solutions to problems we encounter in our lives. MDjunction is a wonderful site and has help not only myself but also my family and friends. I recommend this site to anyone who thinks they are alone dealing with an illness and also to those who have love ones who suffer from illnesses. I will keep spreading the word about MDJunction to organizations who deals with illnesses that would benefit having MDjunction as a support system.Bottom line is.. I found myself again through MDJunction" (mobey)

Hello, Mickey,

Besides having a husband with bipolar disorder, I am also a special education teacher. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you! As a teacher, I know that it is very important to provide as much structure as possible, the kids don't adjust well to change. It is also extremely important to set clear boundaries and let them know often what exactly is expected of them.

Are the kids getting counseling? How are you holding up? I'm here if you need to chat.
