MDJunction to me

cinderella"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

Hello everyone, I am new here and my husband has been recently diagnosed with Bipolar. It has always been a fear of mine that has turned into a reality. Over the past 14 years, I have lived a roller coaster of hell. In the beginning, I had no idea of what was happening. It all makes since now. All the sleepless nights. Working for days on end and then the days of severe depression. I am tired, hurt and confused of what to do now. He refused to take medication and seek any further help. He drinks heavily and has begun to play mind games with me. Any advise?

welcome to the group .I have been where you are my bf is alcoholic . He has been off and on meds several times in the 2 years we have been together . Are you seeking counseling to deal with things yourself? It is up to you yo decide what you want to do . It is never a easy decision to make whether to go or stay Either way you need to take care of your self . Setting boundaries as to what is acceptable and what is not for you.

Have a great day . Life is what you make it

Right now it is really hard. I can see the hurt and pain and cannot understand why he want get the help he needs. I am talking with someone now. I just wanted to see where others were and how they were handling things. It is good to have others to talk with that are experiencing the same thing. I have begun to take care of myself. I am having trouble with the boundaries.
