CricketM's Journal

I'm reading several book & researching online all sorts of information on bipolar because I want to understand what my boyfriend is going through & how I can help him.  So far I'm almost done with the book "An Unquiet Mind" which is very good (just got it Friday evening & almost done with it already!) Next I have a book entitled: "Loving someone with bipolar disorder".  I have others that I orderd that should help the both of us I think.  He seems to be very possitive about my wanting to learn about it & be as supportive as I can for him.  I only wish I could do more for him & it breaks my heart that I cannot when I see him in so much pain.  But all I have to say is that with all the chronic pain & now the RSD I understand as much as I can how illness disrups "normal" life.  I don't even remember what "normal" is anymore.  After having several boyfriends & loved ones leave me because they could not handle it, couldn't be supportive, I want him to understand that I'm here for him through thick & thin!
