Wow - what a relief to hear others say this! I keep my feeling from my husband because I am so ashamed and he does not seem interested. I have had BP2 for 4 years and am growing tired and weary.
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
The leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

golferei,

I am so sorry that you7 are having a tough time at home with your husband. My bf was like that alot and he still does now and then. I think that it is because they are mad, scared, & upset that they can not protect us from this disease. I want to assure you that all of us at one time or another has had the same problems and we still do at times. Are you on any depression meds? Alot of us here are because of the depression.

I do want to Welcome you to this family. I am sorry that I did not start off with that but I am in fibro fog right now. Now if I am getting to personal but do you have both Bipolar and Fibro? I have family with Bipolar and my stepson is one of them. So I was just asking and this way I can try to help understand everything. I hope that you find it to be exztremely supportive here and I hope that you will consider this your family. That is what we try to be with each other. I joined back in March and believe me if I do not check here at least 4x's a day then I am not happy.

{{Soft & Gentle Hugs}} to you my new friend

thanks for the note back. THis chat stuff is new to me so I think I posted on the wrong forum. Ooops! It is good to know you are not discriminating! No fibro for me. Guess I don't know how lucky I am! I am on lamictal and lexapro for BP2. But the winter and rainy days get me down. It is like a heaviness I cannot shake.
