MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times.

Hi...I'm having problems with relationships. Can't seem to stay in one, I get paranoid with signs that show weakness in my partner. Then I realize, I'm not so great myself and stay in it, when I begin to feel in my heart its not right. Am I going to do this with all my relationships?Sad

If it helps any, I am on my 2nd marriage to a wonderful, loving, caring, understanding man who puts up with all of my little insecurities about our relationship. We've been married for 7 years. It took me quite some time to really, really trust him, and to give myself and my heart to him. He is far from perfect and drives me insane (ha ha!) sometimes, and I do have days that I wonder if I made the right choice in marrying him. I think we all wonder at times about that, even if everything is going OK. I seriously doubt you'll do that with all of your relationships. I have a long, long track record of, well, bad choices in relationships and it just took time to find the right guy for me. I'm glad I persisted. The funny thing is, right about the time I decided that I was done looking is when I found him. Doesn't that always happen? Smile

I think you are being too hard on yourself, I dont think you should second guess yourself and stay in relationships just because you have some faults of your own. You deserve better. If you really like the guy and you are just nit picking thats one thing you should try to work it out, but if you are staying because you dont think you can get better due to your issues than you should end it. Good Luck! Wink

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey
