It was funny, I expected my family to be good about it and my in laws to be bad. But it flip flopped. Turns out my in laws have a friend thats bipolar. So they are very understanding of it. More so than my husband. But my mother in law gets a little weird about it, like she tears up if you talk about it and I think its about if the kids will be or not. She asks a lot of those type questions. My family at first ttreated me like I was nuts. All my relatives were like "hi, how are you? Are you ok? You doin' alright" and would like talk slow. And I remember I told my mom about this book about other bipolar young adults and she says "and theyre all ok? They have jobs and are normal?" AHHHH. Everyone keeps asking if Im gonna be able to work and do stuff and its like I stay home to take care of my young children, not because Im crazy. Im going to get a job once theyre in school full time. Ive got the depressed end of this fun stuff. I sleep. Alot. I shut down emotionally for months. I cry for no reason. I cry at everything. I get mad at everything. and so much more. Which I understand can be hard for my husband but it just irritates me when he says "and Im supposed to just put up with that?" Hes only 24 though, and Im 23, hopefully he'll mature, soon... Well, Ive rambled on long enough again. Thanks again for youre time. I hope you get some sleep. Thats gotta be rough.
