My post and some of the others made me wonder about this. How many of us feel like we have the support of the other important person or people in our lives?

My husband and I read an article that was about how to keep a marriage where one person is bipolar going. Aside from communication, communication, communication it emphasized that the non bipolar person absolutely must be supportive and the bipolar person must tell them how they can help, be it by making sure they take their meds, giving them time alone or just letting them cry when they need to. We've agreed to make a commitment to those things. I'm encouraging him to join a support group for spouses of bipolar people and take a class offered by the local psych hospital on bipolar disorder. So not only how supportive are they of us--but how supportive are we of them?
