Good Outcomes Do Happen

I just wanted to come on today and share that not all experiences are negative.

My ex went full manic and discarded me almost a year ago. I was tortured for 10 months. But in that time, I learned about bipolar. Knowing how the illness works really helped me separate him from the disorder, and I stopped taking things personally.

He reached out to me a few weeks ago. He's finally come down, and something has changed. He's committed to getting well in a new way. He's taking meds, seeing a psych, and openly talking about accepting the illness, being accountable, etc.

I don't know what happened for him to get there, but I'm proud. And happy to see it.
