Great thread topic. Thanks to all participating!

My husband is my biggest supporter.
He is also challenged with BP2.
He was diagnosed before we'd married. I had not been diagnosed yet.
He is very stable and does well. He can better tolerate meds and they are more effective for him than for me. I need lots of med trials, have lots of med reactions, etc.

We understand one another's needs and support one another.

Neither of our extended families are very supportive at all. Lots of MI in both families. Hubby and I stand by one another and keep one another on the right track. We know when to draw closer and when to give each other more space. We share a lot, don't judge one another and just truly love and care for each other.

And yes... "Love" (of any type) makes a huge difference!
