Hi guys,
I am extremely fatigued and constantly feel on edge because of my 'undiagnosed /indenial BP husband.I feel very intimidated by him as he gets "fits of rage "and hostile behaviour towards me and thinks of me as enemy -no matter how sweet my words and actions are he thinks its all untrue and acting.

I am only one providing stability to this relationship like a rock but he is always unstable ,because of my recent panic attacks and depression /anxiety I feel my health has started to show cracks and my deep down feelings are coming more on surface as i also feel angry (but no rage ) and get scared that i am behaving like him in many ways.

why do BP spouses who feel tired and drop dead by all emotions running high feel like this or i am alone in this battle?

Hi Cilly,

I am sorry for how you're currently feeling. Dealing with a Bipolar's mood can be tough. Please know that you are not alone in this. We are here for you. You can always come to us.

Is it possible for you to get counseling for yourself? There are hotlines that are tool free that you can call to talk as well. After talking to someone, you can feel better.

Is it possible for someone else to talk to your hubby about seeking help? Maybe a relative or one of his friends? I think that counseling will help him if he's open to it.

When you feel overwhelmed, try deep breathing. This helps especially with anxiety. It helps you to calm down. You can also try journaling. Writing down your feelings can help. I practice this.

Always remember that you are a wonderful person. Whenever you feel intimidated by your husband, try to change your thoughts. Think the opposite. Try converting any negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Remember to treat yourself with kindness and encouragement. Try to think about the good parts of your life and remind yourself of things that have gone well recently.

I hope things will get better for you. Remember that we are always here for you.

*Hugs*
