This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.


I have big antenna that pick up on other's moods easily. It ran me ragged trying to buoy myself and everyone else. I decided it was okay for others to own their own moods and I didn't have to absorb them. I envision myself cloaked in a protective film that allows in everything except negativity, gloom, despair and dread. It's not 100% fail-safe but it's very helpful. What is your wife doing to treat her depression?
