Hi.
Some may remember me mentioning being manic-depressive a couple of times.
I recently had a two month relaspe, first one in five years. My husband had no frame of reference other than what I had shared with him before hand. But he educated himself and stuck by me.
I feel the episode made me confront my own fears and complacency. There's so much that I want to do, but it also shook him out of some depression he was experiencing.
A bookmark that I got from his aunt was the "behold, all things are made new" verse on it. The suffering has shook both of us in a good way, but that doesn't erase all the pain we've been rattled with.
Anyhow, the praise is that our marriage survived this and is much stronger, thanks to my husband's diligence in learning what bipolar really is. He's proven that he really wants to stick by me through thick and thin. Statistically, most marriages doesn't survive a bipolar episode where only one spouse has it.
I'm so proud of my husband!!! I love him so much!
