Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage: A Flower Unfolding
http://bipolarmarriagehope.blogspot.com/2011/05/flower-unfolding.html
Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. It’s been awhile since I posted a blog, and I have really missed it! Things have been super busy around here, as things sometimes are. I’ve recently been doing a little research for a series of articles I’m preparing to publish on Suite101, and ran across some very valuable information that could benefit a lot of folks. I feel like I know quite a bit about bipolar disorder. However, even I was a little surprised to find some of this information.

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage: Is There a Wolf in There?
http://bipolarmarriagehope.blogspot.com/2011/04/is-there-wolf-in-there_08.html
Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Friday, April 8, 2011. Is There a Wolf in There? People who know me know that I am a very practical person. Now, I’m not saying that I’m not flighty or super-duper out there sometimes. But I am one of those people who believe firmly in things like coupons, 401K’s, health insurance and keeping an eye on the big picture. I think that my pragmatic nature lends me to be spiritual as well. Really, is it rational to think that the whole universe just happened? They are rea...

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage: Tough Love
http://bipolarmarriagehope.blogspot.com/2011/03/tough-love.html
Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Thursday, March 24, 2011. I believe the last question I left you with was how exactly my family and I moved forward from a virtual bipolar stalemate. I was guilt-ridden, although in retrospect I hadn’t technically done anything wrong. My husband was feeling like (or at least this is how I perceived it) every wrong he had ever committed was now null and void, and that because he suffered from this mood disorder he was somehow exempt from all adult responsibility.

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage: In the Beginning...Our Story - Part 2
http://bipolarmarriagehope.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-beginningour-story-part-2.html
Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. In the Beginning.Our Story - Part 2. When my husband’s medication was at its worst, he thought people were there who were not. He thought things were happening that were not. For example, he thought he could put it all on the line to begin his own custom cabinet making business, and he really believed with his whole heart that he could become a millionaire doing it. Never mind he had never once in his life built a cabinet, custom or not. Then ...

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Sunday, April 3, 2011. There is a great truth to be learned by all who ever experience suffering and hardship which threatens to break their souls, hearts and minds. The bad may get really, really bad. But when the good comes it is obvious what is before one’s face. There is no mistaking it, and there is no lack of appreciation or gratitude for the blessing that is given. With that being said, what a wonderful few weeks we have had! And now, here we are! When I could...

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Monday, April 18, 2011. My Late Bipolar Reaction. Lee and I have been having some great days between ourselves lately, but I’m telling you, it seems like the whole wide world is against us. Thank goodness that he is stable right now. It has been more than hectic –it’s been downright crazy. And with all of the stress and strain that is totally non-bipolar related I have noticed something about myself that I truly do not know what to do with or how to handle. A few hun...

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage: April 2012
http://bipolarmarriagehope.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. As I look through my past blog posts, I am amazed at how much my life has changed over the course of a year or so. My marriage is stronger than it has ever been before, even during those times when my husband’s bipolar disorder was not evident. Lee’s illness, although much less severe as time marches on, occasionally raises its ugly head. Experience and medication are also huge helpers in the bipolar shuffle. We want to go wherever he leads.

Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage: The Blame Game
http://bipolarmarriagehope.blogspot.com/2011/03/blame-game.html
Finding Hope in the Bipolar Marriage. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Well, tonight I am just sitting here with my puppy, Oscar, in my lap. I’m reflecting on all of the incredible moments and thresholds that I’ve crossed, and trying to decide which we should discuss next. I suppose the most obvious would be exactly what gave me the clue that my husband of six years had a severe case of bipolar disorder. The answer would be that I was absolutely in shock at the diagnosis that our family doctor made. I was the o...

trying to do better: January 2012
http://theallnewriggs.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Trying to do better. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. My mind runs wild like an animal in the open,. It stays chasing a dream and constantly hopeing. I try to contain my rampid thoughts,. Its just hard when you feel all is lost. Day by day i try to do better,. But will i ever be better than i was the day that I met her. To me it's all very confusing,. Though I guess god finds it amusing. I wish I knew how to proceed,. I wish I knew what to believe. I wish i knew how to concieve,. Thursday, January 26, 2012.
