Thank you very much for your kind words. He is seeing a counselor right now...so I'm hoping that it helps. He does take his meds, so that is a good thing as well. I guess what I want to ask you is:...
I haven't been on for awhile...sorry! My life is a mess right now. Quick background for those of you who don't remember me: my husband is bipolar and I'm having a hard time dealing with it. Well,...
I feel for you! Having 2 little kids is stress enough, then throw some bp in there....sure, it's going to take a toll on you. I was 21 and had 3 little kids, and I know I was stressed everyday...and...
Hi 1apple, welcome to the board. I'm a pretty new member and I love this place. It's a place to just let go...let all your worries out and get some "great" feedback from others. I'm on the opposite...
I used to want to figure myself out as well....which in all reality, makes things worse, I believe. There are some things we will just never figure out and things that are better unknown. I know for...
Hi, Alwayslearning! I'm glad you found us. There seems to be a lot of people on here right now that are dealing with their spouse/g.f/significant others, etc., that have bp. I have been with my...
One more thing: (sorry) You talked about how your wife runs around like a child, etc. Well, I used to do this as well. I would LOVE to play with my kids toys, color, etc. But for me, I was sexually...
Vent away, hon! It helps!! I know, I do it all the time here. LoL! I'm sure people are tired of me rambling on and on. I live with a bp husband. But, I must say this...your wife sounds more like I...
Maripaz my heart goes out to you! There are never easy decisions to make when it comes to spouses that act like this. Love is love...and that is the reason we married them in the first place, right?...
Lostwife, how are you doing anyhow? That is so awesome that you're writing a book. You'll have to give us all a copy when it's done. LoL! Lostwife, you're sooo right! People with bp are very...
I hope I didn't lead anyone to believe that?!?! I was only telling my story to others that are where I am. I sure didn't mean to upset anyone...sorry if I did. For the record (whatever record that...
"Taming Bipolar Disorder": It said, "To most of the world, bipolar disorder is... something that happens to 'them,' those other people, those crazy people. But to you, it's personal. The face of...
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. When I was watching that movie, I had such bad anxiety because of it. I could see it in his eyes that he was "inspired" by it. My husband goes through those spells...
needinreassurance, I'm going to email you in a bit...have somethings to do right now. Loving husband, I sent you that site through your Email. :-)...
This is a good thing! I love when I "finally" cry. I haven't done it in so long, I forget what it's like. I feel numb to it all. Nothing bad can come from crying, that's for sure. I'm glad you...
Ok, but I'm not sure how to get your Email address? They said you can't put it on here...so what do we do? LoL! I think someone said you can post it on your profile, is this correct?...
Sorry, I'm back. I just read something you wrote to someone about how people influence your husband. I wanted to tell you a story about my husband when it comes to that. Back in March, when he left...
Oh, ok! Sorry, I guess I didn't read the rules. Maybe I should do that. Thanks for the advice. If you want the website address, please let me know and I can give it to you through Email. :-)...
Hi again! I just read your post. I almost laughed when you said that about the credit. That is the "exact" same thing my husband does. Then blames me for his credit being bad. And yes, it is just...
I'm the wife of a bipolar husband. I know exactly what you mean about sex. I think, for me anyhow, that when they are being mean and unpredictable, we are just not attracted to them at that point. I...
one more thing; don't give yourself false hope. I did that after my husband was "finally" diagnosed. I knew for years he had it and thought once they finally said it, life would be great. But...
First of all: my heart truly goes out to you and your family! My husband is bipolar, so I know what you're going through. I have a GREAT website for you. This is the site that kept me going when my...
Diskus, thanks for responding. I feel for you too! This is absolutely the hardest thing I have yet to do in my life. And I've been through some rough stuff. Diskus, if I don't give him his pills...he...
My husband was diagnosed with bipolar in March. Though I've known for years he has had it, just hearing someone finally tell him and "finally" giving him some meds, seemed like it changed everything....
THanks for all the responses. I actually, THINK, I talked my husband into coming home and going to a mental hospital. He is supposed to get on a bus tonite...but I don't want to say for sure because...
The thing is, he isn't here anymore...I just really would like to know why I went through all of this the past 10 years. I mean, if it is a mental illness, maybe I would understand a little bit more,...
I will try to make my story short. I have been with my husband for 10 years. In those 10 years he has left me 5 times. Not for another women or anything like that. 3 times he was at work, and just up...
