Help me Help My Bipolar wife to Peace of Mind.

Granted by Heroes: 3cats2luv
My wife doesn't know I am here. She has spent this entire day in bed crying. Saying she has no friends, no nothing. Sadly this is true about the friends.

I am at my wits end. I want to help her, comfort her. But I cannot.

My wife is Bipolar and has borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD. She is always at home and has little outside communication.

She needs a HOBBY

Anything you have, Scrapbooking wise, Welcome!

She is in DBT and PTSD Groups/training and there is great hope for a future. Thanks. She is out of bed and moving around a bit now. If we can just keep her going. thanks for the tips on the yahoo group. Fantastic.

Hello, I have Bipolar and PTSD and My partner has Borderline. It CAN be helped and my partners symptoms have been reduced dramatically all ready. She was part of a DBT therapy group. If your wife isn't well enough right now to go to group therapy or if there isn't a DBT group nearby there is a Yahoo group that goes through the DBT lessons that she could join at any time. They send out one lesson per week and you read it and do the homework and email it in. It is not a social group at all, although yahoo does have those, too. The group is called DBTClass. I think it would be great for her. I'm sorry I can't send anything to her right now, but I will look through all my craft stuff and if I have some extra money left over for postage I will see if I can send a few things her way. Good luck!

Her doctor is the one who suggested the hobby. To help keep her from going so low. She is on medication and freshly adjusted. They believe that she doesnt need to sit and dwell on stuff and that a hobby will help with this. Trust me, I am a phone calls reach from her doctor and not afraid to use it. Thank you for your input though, I am sure for some it is the case.

Hello. That is so nice of you to want to help your Wife, but I think a hobby may not be the answer if she is that bad off right now. You should contact her Doctor and explain what is happening. Maybe a medication adjustment may help, maybe some other form of therapy might be needed. It saddens me that you both are going thru this, but if she is sleeping all the time and not responding real well then I don't think she will be able to focus on a hobby or even to take one on right now. Please contact her Doctor...that would be the best for her right now. Take care of yourself and thanks for bring such a supportive husband for her!

Thank you all. Email Buddies would be great I am sure. Please just introduce yourselves and go from there. My hope is she makes it out of the bed tomorrow. carolinacutiepi@roadrunner.com

I under stand completely. I have Depression, Anxiety and panic with agoraphobia, and PTSD. I would love to be her friend if she would like an e-mail buddy.

I totally know what she is going through! I myself am Bipolar & I have BPSD as well. It's hard because we half the time don't know what's going on or why we feel the way we do, so we can't tell others how to help us. We hurt the ones closest to us because we feel so crappy & want someone to feel like we do. I really hope she can get the help she needs & your wish is granted. I myself have 5 kids & my oldest is really sick now & I have no one not even family, but my kids keep me going. It's stressful, but hang in there for her, she needs you! There are support groups for you as well that will help you understand that it's not your fault & it's not hers either. It's a sickness that can't be fixed. Good luck to you!! Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to!!!

I hope she can find some support. There are support groups all over the country for mental illness. Ask her if she is interested in pen pals I'd love to help with that it would give her ideas for card making.
