MDJunction to me

MisaBlue01"MD Junction has been a safe haven for me. I have met so many caring and understanding people and i don't feel so alone anymore with my bipolar. I now know that others suffer as well and that we need each other for support. I hope that one day we can all learn to love and respect each other more and that no one will have to suffer anymore."

Is there a seperate support forum for spouses, partners, and other loved ones who watch us go through all this garbage? If so, where?

There is not one here that i know of, but that is an awesome idea! Maybe the powers that be can work towards making that happen! I do know of other sites that have a forum for caregivers and loved ones.

Yes, there is a general Caregiver Support Group here on MDJ. Not a lot of postings, but I'm trying to get things rolling. I too care for someone with FM. I'd love some dialog with fellow caregivers.

I hope all of you know how truely blessed you are that your husbands are so caring and supportive. My husband is the reason I seek understanding from a group of strangers. Thankyou all for understanding.

My husband is loving and supportive, he just does not understand. So as blessed as I am, I still need a support group. This is the best bunch of people. I finaly have people who understand me, to talk with.

i wish there was a support group that family members and friends who "actually" believe you could go through so that when go through what we do they can find their best to support us and instead wondering what they can do to make us feel better and wishing that our pain would go away. I am just blessed with my mom who has always believe me, a some of the best friends in the world who wants to understand and try to make my life better, and a wonderful, caring and sensitive boyfriend who makes my life easier by knowing what I need and want and wants to make my pain go away. i wish that everyone could have a mother like mine, friends and a boyfriend like mine. People that truly care !!!!!!!
