A friend of mine sent me a link to an article from the Christian Broadcast Network website called Loving People with Bipolar Disorder by Allison Johnson. I was naturally interested. As we all are! We either have it or care about someone who has it which is why we are here.
I have always been honest in saying that my current path is not a spiritual path as I have struggled in this area for many years- but I do understand the importance that spirituality plays in a person’s life. There are many comments on this blog from readers who say that faith is often the one thing that gets them through the tough times. The article happens to be one that speaks of the Christian faith- for others it may be Buddhism, Islam or as for my dear friend Gayathri who deals with depression regularly- Hindu meditation. It’s a very personal choice. I know some who read the Tarot for help!
The following article by Allison Johnson comes from the Christian Broadcast Network website. It’s an honest and helpful portrait of how faith can help a couple – and all people with bipolar disorder find help for bipolar mood disorder- but more importantly, it’s a story of a relationship that survives the ups and downs of bipolar disorder. It is possible for couples where one person has bipolar disorder to have a very loving relationship. Allison’s story shows that this is true!

julie where did your twitter page go
Hi Gail,
Hello Gail,
Thanks for asking- I am going to post on this topic. I decided to clear the site and start over as the spam was a bit out of control! I am going to turn it into a ‘tip a day’ bipolar Twitter account. I think that getting little bite size tips will be helpful. And you can look at them so quickly, but also get a lot of info!
I will keep you posted as to when it is back online. It may be available now if you go to JulieFast and try to sign up.
Thanks! Julie
