I certainly don't mean to offend. And yes not the greatest of analogies. My cousin who is, does need to be mindful of her sleep schedule and make certain of her nutrition as part of staying on an even keel. It is important for her husband to know and understand her mi in order to have sensitivity to her and it works for them, it works for her.

Isn't it important to learn and understand where bipolar fits into their lives?
