Since I unwillingly started down the bipolar road Ive always had a strong support system that didnt necesarily understand what I was going through but they genuinely try. It was these people that got me through some of my most difficult times and I would do anything for them in return.

I'm truly blessed with a husband who provides me with tons of love and support (no matter what my mood). My two beautiful children (who also suffer from depression) are a constant source of support.
