MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

Well, welcome, Motherhen. We're glad you found us.

I'm hapy that you at least have a supportive husband. So many of us here don't even have that. But we have each other and we're here for each other. So please make yourself at home here.

Hi Motherhen, welcome, you have come to the right place. I'm fairly new as well and the warm welcome I received from so many on here was overwhelming.

I am glad your husband is understanding, mine is to a point, but he is working on it and that is all I can ask.

It is hard to share with husbands some times. Many men feel frustrated when they can't "fix" us. Some like mine gets the "deer in the headlight" look and I know whatever I'm saying is going in one ear and out the other.
Be wise and dignified like the swan: he maintains his composure, staying unruffled on the surface, while always paddling like crazy underneath.

Motherhen, if he is supportive, but doesn't know what's going on in your mind or body, why not tell him? Why not sit him down to a candlelight dinner and tell him you want to explain what you are going through. It might help him understand better. That understanding might spur him on to help you more, and maybe you won't feel so alone then.

If you are able to explain to him and talk to him freely about how you're feeling at any given moment, then you don't have to hold it in and keep quiet anymore. That right there might relieve some of your stress.

Hi Motherhen! I'm new here too. I'm sure you'll love it here as much as I do already. It's like I have been able to find a kinda extended family here. A kinda family that can truly understand how I feel. I hope to see you around and talk to you sometime.

By the way, Good Morning All! On the topic of hubby, I bring my hubby to the psychologist with me, so he can understand what I go through trying to deal with the pain and he can understand the diagnosis, sometimes I feel like the psychologist is counselling him hehehhe which is a good thing! lol

Take Care,

YoSuzy
