I am new to the group, but not to being bipolar. I have been bipolar for about 10 years. I have a 2 year old daughter and have been married to my husband for 8 years. This is my second marriage. The other one was I just turn 18 and it seemed like the thing to do. Mental illness seems to run in the women in my family. I fear this because of my daughter. My husband has done a little research but still has a hard time with it. If i show any kind of emotion, it is not creditable and I get, "Are you taking your meds?" Even after 8 years, I don't think he knows me as a person. It get very frustrating when I feel like I am not taken seriously. Hubby and I are just back from our first seperation. Things are stressed. My daughter is like breath to me. When i am having a down day, she is why I get up. I try everyday to be a mom that she deserves. Many days I fail and I have a good cry that night in the shower (I cry in the shower so no one sees) and then get up and try again. That is basically my life. I work full time and go to school part time. I took my last final last night (huge relief) and gradute on May 10th. I have been going to school for 5 years and so I don't know what I will do with my time now. It is a new chapter in my life.  |
