Wow I havent been on here in a few days and look at this. A whole page of people looking for what I am looking for!..... My husband, jaybird, has bipolar and because of being here we are learning how to better deal with the ups and downs. I couldnt begin to explain the impact this place has had on our relationship together. I think at first my husband was a bit reluctant to join but as soon as I started reading some of the postings to him he saw that he was really not alone and gladly joined and posted. He feels great about this site. As for myself I have learned how to manage the ups and downs better and have learned how NOT to do certain things at certain times because all it does it worsen it for him and I. Feel free to read what my husband wrote in about his feelings.(http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/bipolar-support-forums/
introductions-&-personal-stories/4350-i-am-new-here-a-bipolar-dude#4350 ) I am shocked to see that his actions sure dont match his behavior at the same time when he is in an episode. Feel free to reach out here and if you want shoot me an email. I always say that you can never have enough friends. As far as talking to others about my husband and bipolar. I have very few I tell all to. Actually I have nobody I tell everything to anymore. It has bit me in the rear too many times. My family can be judgemental and doesnt have the slightest clue as to what it must be like for him to have to be bipolar. All they see is a man that is selfish and needy. I see a wonderful man that yes, he can drive me bonkers, but for the most part I see a man that I love and want to grow old with. I have learned how to handle situations that are not healthy. Being in love with someone that is bipolar doesnt mean you accept the abuse. It just means you have to be more aware of what he feeling and when you see it beginning to escalate you remove yourself from the situation either by going to another room or by leaving the house. It depends on the person and the situation. I hope I didnt over step my bounds. I dont want you to think I assumed you are in an abusive situation, I am just saying that for those of us who have felt like we are at times their are ways to still love our soulmates and yet spare us the pain of abuse. I look forward to talking again soon. I better get going for now. I have to actually get going. I just hate leaving this forum. Its so nice to feel at home somewhere. Glad your here!
