We have a plan

This time around as Damian has been cycling we have been noticing some key differences he is still cycling with a vengeance but he is not withdrawing into himself which has worried me. I think we found some key differences the first being all the love and support he is getting now that has made such a difference. He knows that myself and my good friend Barb have been researching the internet looking for things that can help him and she even went as far as to get more help from someone who had overcome bi-polar himself. He was on an online radio show she listens to promoting a book he wrote telling about his experiences and she was typing questions to him as fast as she could so he could answer them. She then called and told Damian everything she had found out. I printed off a list of things he can do along with vitamins to help. Damian is starting to see how hard everyone is fighting for him and the rest now has got to be up to him. We are going to create a three ring binder where he can list his vitamins and medications and the dosages and frequencies, along with how much exercise and sun he gets along with his sleep and weight. He is also going to jot down and describe the best he can what he sees and thinks when his mind is racing. All this sounds like a lot and it is but believe me it is not trivial according to what we have been researching all these pieces of the puzzle come together to get Damian the right combination of treatment that he will need. He was having a hard time telling me what he was seeing and thinking because he can't understand them himself so I got him to understand today that all he has to do is record them and we will find him a therapist who can help him do the rest. He isn't expected to have all the answers he just has to want help and cooperate and that I think helped ease the pressure he has felt to know everything. We also have a medical doctor's appt for him we are still looking for a good therapist with expertise in mental illness that accepts his medical coupons but we will keep praying and keep searching. My grandmother has been beside my grandfather all these years that he has battled his bi-polar and I have watched her she has taught me that's what marriage means. She hasn't given up on her husband and I'm not going to quit and give up on mine. We are going to get through this, we made a big step by finding him a doctor now we just have to find a therapist.
