Hi there. I used to be an avid LJ user back in the day (yes, I’m old…) and have really missed the way LJ used to be. I’m giving this site a shot.
A little about me: I’m 39 years old, and have been diagnosed bipolar I since 2001. I’m doing fairly well with medication and occasional therapy, details about why my therapy is occasional in a later post (it’s about $$).
My husband is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and his condition is not well managed at all (yet?). Mornings are the worst time periods, and most of my days are started with his sometimes violent, angry outbursts. If we can make it through the first few hours, things settle down. It is enormously taxing, and if it weren’t for the fact that I do love him very much, I would not stick with this. I’m hoping to use this space for some much needed venting at some point.
I will probably post more later tonight.
