New Bipolar Dedicated Forum Posted: 08-03-06 10:20am
Hi. I am new here and have been
reading this site for some time and find
it to be excellent in that it covers so
many areas of health so well. I
shall be using it a lot in future and look
forward to contributing and getting to
know people on here.
I have bp2 and have had since I was 17 (42
now). It is a difficult illness to
live with but I manage well with an
excellent support network. I am
currently of long-term sick leave from my
work as a therapist within the english
nhs.
Many thanks
john k

Greetings,
i've been a untreated rapid cycling
bipolar individual for about 30 years.
The ninety's were not very good for me.
My father passed away thanksgiving day in
92' my mother died in 94'. The day after
I buried her my wife wanted a divorce out
of the blue, no counseling, nothing. I
was divorced in 95. My youngest brother
died in 99' on thanksgiving day (same as
dad) ken was only 35.
Well all of this and other issues as well
caused me to sink into a depression so
deep that I had to wear dark sunglasses at
work to hide my constant crying.
Finally an angel came to me. Her name is
kate. She stood by me and made the
decisions I couldn't make in the state I
was in. Kate fought to get me the
treatment I needed. It worked i've been
treated since 2000 and I feel wonderful.
I married kate in 2004.
I wanted to somehow pay back all the pain
and suffering I caused the people in my
life by building and maintaining a forum
for caregivers and loved ones of bipolar
companions.
