This blog begins as a project for a Columbia College (of Missouri) e-marketing class. I hope to share moments in the days of my life as a spouse of "one of those people." My husband suffers from bi-polar disorder, manic depression, and social anxiety. Hopefully, this will be read by those who shares the same story and can relate and gain strength knowing that others endure - and how important supports can be. This is the beginning of an ongoing story of living with and loving someone with chronic mental illnesses.
