  Sorry to hear that things haven't changed for you either. I mean I love her very much but I figure in the long run that it would be better to bow out now, because instead of getting back together and getting married or something then it's something I would have to deal with and there wouldn't be an exit for me.

  I’m With You

  From alone1 April 17, 2007

  Here are a couple of poems I wrote during one of my manic periods - may help you to better understand some of the things your wife feels. It is very hard to explain to someone who hasn't been through it what you feel like. My Bipolar Experience Right now I'm on the manic side For awhile I no longer need to hide Thoughts and ideas flow so quickly through my mind I must do things for others that are kind I feel there is nothing I can't do I want to try many things which for me would be new I must be very careful of decisions that I make I have to take pills in order not to always be awake My talking is very much endless I need to be careful that I don't end up friendless I add many times daily to my list of to dos I am afraid that the items will become too few The feelings I have are so extreme I think you'd have to experience it to know what I mean The energy that I have is never ending I wish the urge wasn't so strong for spending and spending Reading and writing make me feel better I've written books to my sister that started as a letter With each new medicine I have new hope Drug #11 is helping me to cope I never know when I'll go to the other side My fear of this I try to hide Each cycle change gets harder and harder Of this illness I've become smarter and smarter The depressed side of this illness is horryifying I feel I am worthless no matter how hard I am trying Worrying and thinking negative are about all I do The days that I don't cry are way too few I sleep about half of the day away For relief each day I pray and pray I don't want to talk to or see hardly anyone I'm thankful when each day is done I can hardly remember when I felt like myself I'm very worried about my health One thing that helps me make it through each day Is knowing my mood can go back the other way This one I wrote to my sister who helped me to survive in the beginning. Thank You You helped me first to understand The diagnosis the doctor gave me Before I discussed it with you I just thought the doctor was crazy You told me where to go to learn Of the illness on the internet These resources were invaluable For this I'm in your debt. Your many notes, cards, and letters Helped me to make it through each day Without our chats and your support I don't know where I'd be today We laughed together and cried together During our many chats You gave me a long distance kick in the butt I will never ever forget that You sent me several books That helped me to see That I was not the only one And that I could beat this disease. I would like to thank you For everything you've done Of all the people who've helped me You were my favorite one

  I think his incentive is soon going to be to slow down or I am leaving.
