50. "I MARRIED BIPOLAR" Loving and Caring for Someone with Mental Illness with Author Temple Leffingwell

MIDLIFE MOXIE

She met her handsome man and they married with the same hopes and dreams that we all have. But a short time into the marriage, Temple Leffingwell's husband began to experience symptoms and show signs indicating that something was terribly wrong. He was eventually diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. How does one handle this kind of news? How do you reshape your life around this diagnosis? What does life look like going forward? We discuss this and more from Temple's book "I Married Bipolar", which she wrote to provide help and support others on this journey. She has become an advocate, a listening ear, a soft shoulder, and a coach for many others dealing with the toll of caring for someone with mental illness.
