My G.F is Bipolar 2, battles anxiety, depression, and all the other mental struggles that come with being Bipolar.. She comes from a background of awful fathers, everybody in her family as far as i can see has been a drug addict, alcoholic, or worse.
I come from a cookie cutter family.. House, backyard, great parents and siblings, vacations every year, school sports, and my first car!
I've now been with her for 5.5 years, and i can't fathom anybody else in my life.. Her past and her life has taught me so much..
That being said- I can't say i understand your struggles Magnetaress, but I do respect what people with mental struggles go through.. Btw- My lady does take lithium.. Or i guess i should say she settled with lithium? She has tried them all..
And i know it doesn't work for everybody. And she still has her ups and downs, but weed helps her a lot.... Most importantly, weed just helps her shut her mind down in the evenings to get some sleep.. She seems to mostly be dependent on it for sleep.
I don't always wake up to the same woman i went to sleep next to. My job is to wake up and always just be me. It always helps her to get herself back on track when she has the strength and is ready to.
Mental health- It's not like a sprained ankle that we can all relate to.. If you don't have the mental struggles, and you aren't open minded, then you'll never ever ever understand what some folks have to go through every single day! Chin up Magnet!
