Please Help Me

I have been married for 10 years and have 2 children. They are 9 and 5. My husband suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. We got married when we were 16 and I was pregnant with our daughter. I understand that a disability like bipolar is very difficult. I struggle to see what is the disorder and what is my husband. Over the years he has become more aggressive and mean to me. he also has struggled with being an alcoholic and a drug user. I am a christian women and believe that God holds marriage very highly. My husband also takes the medication adderal for his ADD. Today he was looking for his prescription and could not find it and was mad at me because I washed the pants that he had laying in the bathroom floor. Apparently his prescription was in those pants. He freaked out and tore my whole room apart and kicked in my filing cabinet and broke many other things. He also called me a few not so nice words. Earlier in the morning I asked him to go and pick up our daughter from a sleep over and he was speeding and got a ticket but it was my fault because he didn't want to go in the first place. I think that this is all very unfair and that he needs to take some responsibility for himself but he wont listen to me about it. If anyone has some advise I would love to hear it. Thank you

Unit 10 Blog

Hello again everyone. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who responded to my postings and everyone who has given me advise and words of encouragement. I think these things are especially important in the online learning environment. If I had any advise to give a student just entering this course I wold tell them to take it one week/day at a time. If you at all you have to do it looks overwhelming but in the end it works out great. I would like to send out a personal thanks to professor Pal for all of her dedication and support. I wish you all good luck in future courses and things to come. Best wishes.

Unit 9 Almost done. :)

I have not quite finished my paper at this point but I am very excited to be this far. It has taken a lot of hard work but I feel it will pay off in the end. I would like to tell all of my classmates that I am proud of all of you for making it this far. There are many other topics I would love to write on. I love writing more than I do anything else. I could do without the APA sometimes though lol. This course has been great and I want to give a special thanks to Professor Pal for being so helpful and supportive. Have a teacher who is 100% behind you is irreplaceable. Good luck to all and I hope to see you in the future.

Unit 8 blog. Will I continue to use the blog after the course?

I didn't really give it much thought to whether or not I would use the blog after the course ends. I probably will use the blog every once in a while. I think that it will be a great way for me to vent. It is not always easy to talk to people you know about school issues because they aren't in school and don't understand. I would also love to keep in touch with fellow classmates and see how they are doing. I feel like I am making great headway on my project. I cant believe how fast this course has flown by. Have a great week all.

Peer Reviews Unit 7

Hello again everyone. I have chosen to write about giving and receiving peer reviews. I think that peer reviews are the best thing ever. I think that it gives you more chances to correct the things that are not mastered yet. It is ok to have family read your essay but will they really give you an honest opinion? I feel better getting feedback before turning it in to the professor. I think that when giving peer reviews you can be polite but constructive at the same time. I am one of those people who used to get my feeling hurt when I was told there was something wrong with my paper. Now I find that people aren't being rude or trying to hurt your feelings they are trying to help. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Good-bye for now.

Unit 6

I feel that the research I am doing will hopefully get a head start on helping people to realize that people with bipolar disorder are not crazy. They are less fortunate people who got stuck with a disease like high blood pressure or diabetes. If a person with bipolar disorder can stay on their medications they can have a fully functional life. On the other hand it is really hard to get them to stay on their medications. I just think that there isn't very much education in society on the subject. I have personally had to deal with someone who has the disorder. It can be really difficult for the family and the sufferer. These are my hopes for this topic. Have a great week everyone. :)

Unit 5 How school is affecting my life.

School has had a really big impact on my life. I love being in school. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. In high school I did not care what grades I would get. Now I cant even go a day without going crazy waiting for my grades. I feel a little stressed for time sometimes, but I know that it will all be worth it in the end. I want a better life for my family and I love to learn about the body and the whole medical field in general. I know that sometimes I do not give my family as much attention as I used to but I think they understand what I am trying to accomplish. I put forth my best effort because I want to be successful. I do not pay for school to slack off or goof around. I take my schooling very seriously and I love it. Until next time, have a great week.
