I went through therapy for my highs, i thought it was adhd. But after 8
months and 10 days of hospitalisation i finally got lithium. I read that
some people take years to figure out. I’m guessing i’m “lucky”.
Unfortunately, 4 months into therapy my wife filed for divorce. She knows
know what it is but doesn’t really care for it. She got hurt by my
irritability, and now she focuses on our child. Which i am so happy for.
She’s a great woman, and an exellent mom. Someday she may understand it.
Both of my ex’s adored my manic side but held the depression against me.
I am separated from my wife as she couldnt take it. Now im a social worker
helping mentally challenged individuals find housing. I am living my dream
and so can you All. I still see my wife and she respects me…i know it and
it feels good. Live your lives to the max. You are worth it. Subscribe dear

I am on the other end but I will always love him we broke up and remained
friends! Just hope one day we work it out!
I applaud your courage to place yourself out there to share your
experiences that will not doubt help others. Had a question for you and
your opinion. You said something about letting you partner/friend know
about your condition when you are starting to take the relationship to the
next level. What next level are you thinking when you say that? Seems to me
it should be know from day 1 or no longer than day 2. But then again maybe
not a good idea to tell that to someone you really don’t know.
Man, thank you for being so brave! Awesome vid, you just opened my eyes. I
have to go back to my medication and control… i thought everything was
ok, but i really destroying myself, oh God, thank you so much for this kind
of people. God spoke to me through you. I am in tears now, painfully
liberating tears…
