Building Confidence

As I headed home from the gym this morning (yes, the 4th time I have gone in the past 7 days), I realized that I didn't have a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. For a long time, I wouldn't know if K would get up in the morning, what her mood would be, if she had slept the previous night, etc. Now, I can guarantee that she will be up, cheerful, and preparing to go to work in the morning.

Knowing that she'll be functioning normally is slowly building my confidence. It will still take a while, but I'm starting to trust that things will work out with K's illness and with her job. The longer our routine is unbroken the more confident I will become. The stress is starting to ease away.

I am curious as to what caused her change. Is it that she is more engaged at the office, which seems to have made a big difference? Is it that the bipolar has receded further? Is it that her engagement at the office has lifted a situational depression, as K told her therapist? I believe that the last one is the answer. There has been a radical change in K and it seems have brightened her aura.

Let's up that the good times continue.

One last note: I came across another bipolar blog today, it looks good. I know a number of you have already found it. --Been Broken--
