looking for support....
| Tue, 06-05-2007 - 9:31am |
Hi all! I'm new to this board. My husband is bi polar, as is his brother. My sister in law is looking for a message group or online support group for spouses of bi polar. This may not be the place to start, but you have to start somewhere, right? Anyone here have any help or adivce? I don't want to change a vibe going here, but I wondered if any here were spouses who were able to get help here too.
Thanks for all your help!
Stephanie

Stephanie,
Our board is primarily for those who have BP themselves, although we often have friends & family post occasionally, so your SiL is certainly welcome for a perspective from "our" side of the fence.
Thank you so much for your help! I was sure there was a friends & family board somewhere on ivillage, but I was striking out finding it on my own. I will pass all the information along and will probably use it myself. ;)
I can't tell you what a big help this will be for her. (Her situation is far worse than mine.) My husband has fully come to terms with his illness and has delt with it with medication and has been taken off the medication and we're doing very well. Her husband has been recently granted perminant disability status and she's just frustrated with how he's doing. I've tried to offer help as I can, but my husband is far more motivated than her's is.
I hope you have a great day!
Stephanie
