I am blessed to have my husband. My brother is also supportive, but without them I'd feel alone, too. I've lost and been unable to make friends over the years because of my bipolar. That saddens me.

My wonderful psychiatrist is such a support, but he is getting old, and maybe someday soon hubby and I may move. My therapist has been great, but she told me last time that she is suspending her practice in two months because of family issues. Of course she needs to be there for her family, but it is a loss for me, and surely most of her other clients.
