I watched Julie and Julia last night, or was it the other way around, which ever it inspired me to write more. Who knows someday, someone may just be interested in what I have to say. And if no one ever is interested, at least I have my thoughts. Today was a good day. Things are going well with my husband, he is on his medication and it seems to be helping, although we are tweaking it a bit to get the right dosage. Speaking of which, I forgot to go pick up his new prescription after I got off work. Well, better do that tomorrow. How do you live with someone who is bipolar? Well first and foremost you have to love the person 100 percent. And accept them just as they are. They are the only ones who can change themselves, you can not do it for them. But on top of love, you must and I repeat must be self confident, strong and able to keep going, even when you get no help or encouragement from the other person. See he can't encourage you because, he can't encourage himself. You will have to learn to act as if you are not married, while maintaining the marriage at all times. You will be the only thing holding the marriage together and that has to be ok with you. It is not easy, believe me, but it is possible. There are days and nights that I think that I can not go on, but I love my husband and know that beyond the disease, there is a wonderful person.
