Welcome to my blog. My intention is to describe and discuss daily life when you or someone you love has bipolar disorder. I am lucky in some ways to be living with another person with the same disorder. He understands me. Even though we are both on medication, we still cycle. I am much less in control than he is. My manic and depressive phases are very easy to identify.
My step father (who by the way is a wonderful man who worries about both of us a great deal and does a tremendous amount for us) actually moved out of his own house where we were living with him because he could not deal with the disorder. He allows us to live in his house rent free. Our mood swings were to much for him. He knows we love him dearly and would do anything for him. We just can't live in the same house.
I am anxious to hear how others fair with family and friends, work and school, and daily life. I will post things about my life. My hope is this blog will help family, friends and those with bipolar live a happier life with understanding and peace.
