Spouses of Bipolar in Active Relationships

You can do it! You can reach towards happiness! You can leave behind misery and unhappiness!

You can do ONE thing today that will make you happier in the long term. That might be 1) insisting your SO gets on psych meds, 2) signing up for course at a local comm. college or adult ed program 3) making an appt with a therapist who will help you sort out your feelings.

We believe in you!!!!

I called back this past Saturday to reschedule. Still waiting to hear. If I wait too much longer, I'm going to call someone else. The person with whom I made the appointment with didn't give me "warm fuzzies," so if she doesn't call back in a timely manner I'm just going to view that as an omen.

PS. Good for you Silverlock!

Thanks for the reminder Married. I needed to hear it.

Confession: I've been laid low by a virus complicated with asthma. I realized that I have been putting so much in helping hubby through a bad mixed episode that I haven't taken care of myself very well.

I have to work at least a few hours a day this week, and when I get better I am going to take several days off for myself and start actively planning a long-awaited trip to Mexico to visit my daughter and her family. I'm in the state of mind right now that I'm going to go whether hubby can handle it or not.

I made arrangements to go to Vegas to see the Beach Boys with my sons, mom and MIL, while hubby is at a retreat on Memorial Day Weekend. This is definitely for ME
