"FOR EVERYONE!" (Kathycat)

MDJunction to me

peasha"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)

Wow this is a very informative "booklet" about being a caregiver for a bipolar person... lots of reading,, but should answer a lot of questions hopefully...

I really liked this. Does anybody else wonder why these really informative booklets often come from OUTSIDE the US? Just sayin;
All of my advice is based on experience and reading. I am not a medical doctor, and have never even played one on TV.

Previous discussions I participated in:
I was wondering...
What do I do?

I just read it too. It's terrific. Does anyone think I should e-mail the link to my exBF's current SO?

So sad. So so sad that I lost Lurch to a mental illness. I didnt sign up for caretaking someone, though. Didn't think I was asking him to do anything outside of the normas of a life. Obviously the stress triggered him out of control. I guess better it happened when it did.
