I was just recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and put on 2 different medications. How do I deal with everyday life when my life is already in the red? I just feel like I have nothing left to get back on track for. With in a 6 month span I had a baby,my grandmother died, and my husband left to be with another girl. This was September of 2006. My whole life fell apart in that amount of time. I just hope I can reclaim what is left so I can enjoy my time with my 3 kids. I just can't give up in my head that I can prove to my husband that I have changed and we can enjoy being together again.

I'm not really sure if you were asking a question here, so this may sound like a non- response:

Your post reminds me a lot of one of my friends (only friend that I actually spend time with). Her name is Amanda and she was diagnosed with "bipolar disorder" when she was around seven and has been taking different cocktails of medication ever since.
Her grandma died about a year and a half ago and she hasn't really recovered... her grandma meant a lot to her (Kind of like the only positive person in her life who actually believed in her. Her parents suck).

She's always been in and out of relationships that emotionally tear her apart.. and she's very dependant.


That being said, I don't look at Amanda as being "bipolar." I think that most mental diagnoses are just lines of generalized bull sh*t. People love to use your "disorder" as an excuse for every action that makes you, and that's wrong. You can rise above all of the dumbsh*ts out there and make your life better on your own accord.
Your husband was wrong to leave your family to be with someone else, but if you're really worried about living without him.. you should let him know. Love is worth fighting for (MUTUALLY).



...Now back to my bleeding addict posts that I normally provide. Hope that some of that helped..
