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)

Yes! MDJ has an excellent support forum for spouses of bipolar in active relationships. Here is the link:

http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/spouses-of-bipolar-in- active-relationships-discussions

There is another spouses forum, make sure you point her in the direction of the one I linked too. Both are good forums but I linked you to the one where the primary focus is staying in a relationship, the other tends to focus on the needs of unhappy spouses often looking to get out (a very valid issue for a forum, but probablyy not where you want to send your wife!)

If she wants to look at it on her own without following the link from your account she just has to type spousess of bipolar in active relationships in the long white space where the magnifying glass is at the top right of the page.

I think it is great that you recognize that she might need support and are looking for resources for her!
