Lee and Jessica were high school sweethearts and continue the journey as middle aged sweethearts now. Having spent more than half their lives together means that they’ve already experienced many parts of their wedding vows and one rings very true “in the best of times and the worst of times”. While it’s Jessica who lives with bipolar, Lee lives with her and all the challenges and positives that it brings. But living with bipolar, undiagnosed for much of the time , meant that they had to navigate the course with no road map for those moments of crisis, but it also gave them a deep understanding of the value and joy in the calm of things. With Jessica’s recent diagnosis coming on the heels of a friend sharing about mental health awareness is what set them on a new adventure to share their story, as a couple committed to help other couples support each other and seek support when needed.

Jessica and Lee Wyman share their stories in the This Is My Brave Boise 2017 show.
