I’m dealing with my husband and business partner who is bi-polar. We are having such a tough time keeping employees because he is so critical and negative. He keeps rationalizing, but this constant revolving door of employees is wearing both of us out. How can I help him see that he needs to be more encouraging and less micro-managing of these folks? He is at the business fll time, I am part time since I hold down a full time job. He has had a rough go at keeping a full time job, and is now “tired” of this dream business he had to have. I’m exhausted, physically and emotionally.

wow, that sucks.

no support–i don’t know if i could do it.

i remember a couple of years ago: went through a major mixed mania episode.

it sucked, but i’ve got some really good friends and family near me. it made all the difference.

hi.

just found you’re blog.

that sucks, no support network. i know i’m very luck. i have some great support in my town, and i remember (mostly) a major bipolar episode a couple of years ago. mixed mania, cycling pretty fast.

was scary. don’t know what i’d do without friends and family.
