Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you're doing better. Here's a hug just because... Georgia
Ok, good. I thought I triggered you.
So sorry. I didn't mean to trigger you.
Hi there, You say you are ready to begin couselling, that may be a good thing I have started to go to counselling with my husband a bit like being able to communicate more freely with someone who is actively listening it is helping us as a couple, but I also would go on my own. sometimes its good to be able to express your feelings to a complete stranger rather than somone whom you are close to. You say that everyone thinks your husband is wonderful but I am sure there are people who think you are wonderful and just as wonderfull as your husband. I think you are a very kind person and would help anyone in need. You have helped me understand bipolar and I thank you for that. You also say you have been a better person and think of all the time that as gone by and you want to change. There are parts of everyones lives that they know could be better and we all at times reflect on ourselves.. What would you like to do? maybe counselling would help and these are some of the things you can explore. I can understand that you dont miss the depression, One time when my husband was depressed he felt suicidal i used to spend alot of time sitting up with him until early ours of the morning. We used to go for lots of walks and it helped. I think it is good to have a holistic approach to anyones care not just medication alone but talking treatments as well. Anyhow Ive probebly blabed on a bit sorry. Speak soon Yvonne 21. Take care.
yes, again my husband is the same, he wants left alone at times. He wants things to be ok, but doesnt want to talk about anything. He doesnt want to dwell on things. I can understand all that and maybe both you and my husband need some space from us partners I know when my husband was like that a couple of weeks ago i done a bit of my own thing and it helped us get along much better. My husband seems to have settled down a bit and is not as high and at the moment we are getting on much better. Would your husband give you a bit more space? maybe it would help you both? its only a suggestion I am very new at all this and I am sure you have far more experience than I. I hope your husband is understanding of your needs as well. Hope you are ok and I hope my reply is ok for you? speak soon. Yvonne 21
