Hi everybody! I see some familliar faces here. I usually am on the open bipolar group but I have a question I don't feel comfortable posting over in the open forum regarding SO's.

I am bipolar and my husband is quite a computer junkie. I'd like to be able to point him in the direction of a cyber support group if he ever wants to use one because he doesn't talk to anyone else and he may need to get things out.

I hope not to offend anyone by saying this, and I guess since this is the bp only group this is a good place, but the SO group here seems very very heavily waited to angry SO's who are looking to get out or to stay out once they are gone.

I was hoping someone might know of one where the issue is staying and working through things.

Thanks.

Spouses of bipolar in active relationships seemed pretty positive! I would do a link if I knew how! I just searched it in the MDJ search engine. Good luck!

thanks silverclaw. It does seem more positive than the spouses only, still a bit of bashing and 'just leave him/her but not as much. Hadn't occurred to me that we had more tha one SO group.

They should move the link up into the "Bipolar" section. It's kind of hidden down at the bottom.

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

Bipolar 1, Simple Partial Seizures, and migraines

Psychiatric meds:

Lithium ER (900 mg)*Tegretol XR (1400 mg)*Lamictal (100 mg)*Geodon (160 mg)*Navane (5 mg)*Seroquel XR (100 mg)*Klonopin (.5 mg)

Ativan 1 mg "as needed" (I rarely take it.)*Seroquel regular 50 mg "as needed" (Only if I'm getting elevated.)

Other meds:

Propranolol (40 mg)*Levothyroxine (150 mcg)

My mix is side effect friendly for me.
