Hi Yall,

I have bipolar disorder but I have a husband and kids. Before I was diagnosed I stayed at the depressive end of it most of the time so I am sure I was hard to live with. Anti depressants don't really work well for me but they have me on a really high dose of one this time so guess I will see.

As far as your aunt, I never acted like that but maybe she needs to be reevaluated by her Psychiatrist and have her meds switched. The wrong meds can make a world of difference and so can the right ones. Just know she might not be able to help it if her meds are the wrong ones for her. Have her visit her doctor and be patient while they try to find the right combo of meds for her.

Hope this helps,

Hopes

I am sure that people that are non bipolar are effected by us that are bipolar . I am bipolar but mu husband is not and I know it has effected his life . He has a lot more stress from worrying abut me and he has to put up with my mood changes . When I am real moody I get on his nerves and he handles it good but I can see he knows it is the bipolar but it still does not change the fact that he has to put up with it the hardest for him is when I am depressed because he feels hopeless , he wants to help and he knows he can't . All in all we have been married for 34 years and he has not left yet and he said he never would , and I believe him , we love each other just as much as the first day we meet .
