I'm a newbie here, I'm also a newbie to this world of Bipolar.
Hubby is newly diagnosed, suffers from Bipolar II. We've had a pretty wild ride the past couple of months from hospitalization, diagnosis, release home, trying to relearn our relationship, trying to cope with this illness, trying to take days one at a time, trying to deal as a family.
We've been together, Hubby and I, for a very long time, married young, we have a young family with three amazing kids.
In the past couple of months I've pored over any and all literature to learn as much about this illness as I possibly can. I am 100% committed to my Hubby and my marriage, as much now as I was before diagnosis.
This is for life, I accept that. I cannot fix this, I accept that too. I also know that to help him in what he needs, I also need to help me too.
And that's being to connect with, vent with, chat with, learn with other wives or husbands that are also learning to live with their spouse's BP. I'm hoping to share our experiences.
