todays trials
Apr 13, 2007

Hi, I'm Julie and the man in the pic is my husband Aaron. We both have bi-polar but different types. My family accepts aarons illness but refuse to believe there is anything wrong with me and say that I am just lazy and horrible with money etc. I also have fibromyalgia and other illnesses and my husband is a heart patient and a diabetic. We have some wonderful friends that also have different forms of mental illness from bi-polar to schizophrenia who help us to deal with day to day living as we try to help them. My family does not understand why we have surrounded our selfs with these people even though they like them and enjoy their company because they think I am faking everything. We were so glad when we found this site because you can never have to much support or insight and I hope that we might be able to help someone else with our expierences and our friendship as we judge no one and hope not to be judged ourselves. Thank You, Julie and Aaron

I am so glad to meet you, It is difficult to have this sort of problem of families that do not believe and support their relatives as they should some times they can be swayed by having them read material online of the disorder to help them understand.... Tamara and I are both Bipolar and with a few other disorders and for the most part are very supportive and compassionate towards each other needs...And we also tend to freely lend our selves out to asist others with questions answers and just plain being a friend when ever we can. I have a group called "Bipolar Friends Plus!" on care2 that you can join if you haven't already and it some times helps to post and let everyone help out by interacting with our own experinces and knowledge. We are on AOL and go through Bipolar chats there is you aren't familar i will send the link aol://2719:63-2-Bipolar%20Express hope you can get in and good luck to you both, Bipolar couples actually have better chance of a full life together than those that only one partner is bipolar,
