Oh, Happy Day
Today- finally- at last, hubby was given a medicine specifically for biplolar disorder. We have known that is his issue for years, but for some reason, everyone we have attempted to convince of this has either not believed it, or decided we had to- 3 months at a time- eliminate everything else. Which has taken a year and a half- partially because the office we were going to had 2 doctors move on us- so we'd go and ask for a change, but the new dr. would want to "see how we did" first. I am hoping and praying that this will be the help we've known he's needed to "soften those edges". His lows render us both depressed and useless, and was a frequent excuse for me to drink... and just made our home and lives totally miserable. His "up" side is really awesome, which is why I am still with him after all this.
Our meds doctor is a hardcore Christian... we've never met anyone quite like her. You would have to meet her to understand, but at times it really feels like she is a lightning rod connection to God. I feel hopeful today... despite the fact that we are really just scraping by financially during a time when we should be raking it in, and saving for the off season. Hubby and I are communicating better (even if he can NEVER break away from the business mentally), we are both trying to eat better and take better care of ourselves, and maybe, just maybe, the new meds are the next piece of the puzzle.
Trying to read a lighting manual tonight and tech forums on DMX lighting is a real joy killer this evening... anyone wanna come over here and program our lights for us?
