Add to NewsvineAlso included in Beliefnet's bipolar resource page is the video I taped a few months back with Eric and Dick (husband of guardian angel Ann) on what it's like being married to a manic depressive. Every time I watch this video I learn something new. Maybe you will too. Here they are elaborating on their wives' moodiness and some techniques that have worked well in their marriages.

I LOVE Divine Coincidences! ^I^
This morning's reading was about Mahatma Gandhi. He needs no long introduction. Everyone knows about the little man who led the Indian people to independence, in a peaceful way, from the British rule in 1948. But, perhaps, many people don't realize is Gandhi never held any official post - he was an unofficial hero.
I wanted to share with you this morning, some of my favorite quotes from Gandhi.
HUMANITY:
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean, if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."
"If I had no sense of humor, I long ago would have committed suicide."
YOU ARE IN CONTROL
""Nobody can hurt me without my permission."
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
EVERYONE IS HUMAN
"An eye for an eye only makes the world blind."
"See the good in people.
TAKE CARE OF THIS MOMENT
"I do not wish to see the future, I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following."
PERSIST
'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

I have been diagnosed as Bi-polar for 7 years now although I know now I have been all my life. Lately...the pressure of no job, rising prices and constant fluctuation in my ups and downs have weighed heavily on me, my wife and 2 children. I feel the information I have seen so far in the video and blogs will be very helpful. Even though I am seeing a psychologist and MD I am still outrageousley out of control sometime and completley depressed others. I know it is hard on my wife and I hope this information along with the sugggested book will help her.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Joey
