My name is Kim and this is my husband, Marc. I have Bipolar II Disorder and I am here to share with you our experience with this disorder and how our faith and sense of humor guide us through the emotional highs and lows that define it. I am also here to offer you practical ways that we have managed the day-to-day realities of living with Bipolar and how we have been able to maintain a healthy and happy marriage, raise children and nurture successful careers.

I hope you enjoy and are blessed by this.

My sleeping patterns are regular, my brain fog lifts, my heart doesn't race and cause me anxiety, I'm… Continue reading Running Water and Overcoming Hard
