Well, actually, since my husband left, my life has been somewhat peaceful. My mom has bpd and moved in with me and sometimes I feel as though she is sucking the life out of me also but for the most...
It's been quite some time since my last post. It's been 10 months since my husband who has bp left me. We still haven't filed for divorce yet...don't know why. He texted me a few times saying he was...
Well, I don't know what to say. He's reading a book on Borderline Personality Disorder and relating to that, which could be possible? He's checking in to AA which is wonderful. The question: is he...
Unfortunately it's a lifelong condition and there will always be ups and downs. The severity depends on the treatment; whether or not they're getting treatment, right? My husband truly believed that...
It's been a long time since I've posted on the forum but I've checked in periodically. It's been eight months now since the husband has been gone, however, we have kept in touch a little. He usually...
Dear LFW, My heart goes out to you, as, every word you stated could have been written by myself about 5 months ago. I am a 34-year old professional with two sons from a previous. I, too, dealt with...
Jondoe, Well, I've had a lot of people who I've drawn strength from myself. I found another amazing forum and some of the stories of people with thirty-something year-long relationships, like mine,...
Definitely the time of year plays a part! I have noticed in the 3 years of being on many different forums the same thing. I really think that seasonal affective disorder may play a huge part. My...
mptat, I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. I know just what you are going through. This one has been a bad one for me and sad to say, I've given up and am moving on...though he hasn't...
Don't think he really wants to file. Yes, there are possible property issues, but I think we can simplify that. It's amazing how sick my body feels. I've been so healthy and great for all of this...
We don't share any children, luckily, so that will never be an issue. I'm so mentally tired. I guess he talked to my mom. Saying he hasn't talked to his mother and is now trying to keep out of it....
Fortunately, my children are from my first marriage. Thank GOD! My mother and I believe this arose because he wanted me back. Didn't come right out with it, but tried to "get" with me and I said...
HELP!!! I'm being sucked back in! I received a text from my husband yesterday morning about talking to my father-in-law. My mother-in-law then called my mom yesterday morning. I text him back saying...
Hey, Jon, Gosh, well, I can say that I can relate to absolutely everything you have described and to the feeling of having "no connection" anymore. I've been the mom, dad, accountant, counselor,...
So...this week isn't looking any better than last. I went to his work yesterday to drop his w2's off with his boss...he was there. Wasn't expecting that. Last week wore me out mentally. He asked me...
Well, I just talked to him briefly. Asked him to not question my kids about my "boyfriend" because he is not and that wasn't cool to portray him that way to them. He's also told others about my...
Sorry, no, he's not and wasn't begging for me back that I know of. Honestly, I don't know what he was doing. He said that he just needed to see me...was just feeling down. I don't really know what it...
So we talked for a long time and he seems okay... not drinking and working on the spiritual side of things. Has a friend who made him feel better after I left that morning. I'm happy to see him...
I got a call on Sunday. It's been a month since I last posted. It's been almost 5 months since he left. Here I am again. I was just winding down to sleep when my husband calls me out of the blue....
Hey, everyone. It's been quite a while since I last posted. I read all the posts and I feel so much for everyone here because for me, it is not my reality anymore. It's been almost 4 months since my...
I'd like to share a little something about my experience with some of society's view/attitude with mental illeness. When I lived in Montana in Missoula, I use to take meals out to some of the...
Kirsten, I join you on that one! I don't want anyone ever to think that I believe all people with bp disorder do these things. I know that there are varying degrees of bp and a person's...
Twisted, You SHOULD be so proud of yourself! As we all know, many people who have bp can be very creative, intelligent people. I'm so happy to see you're channelling it in a positive way and making...
It's true. And that's why I say that other people really can be toxic. They don't know. They give bad advice, don't take it seriously, don't care because they don't have to deal with the reality of...
I'm afraid now, though, that it might lead into depression. I've cried twice, the other time in the bathroom stall at work. The longer he's gone, the more reality sets in that he's probably is never...
The influence IS unbelievable. My mom and I were just talking on the phone about during lunch. People give advice from what they see and not what they know and it's TERRIBLE advice. I know exactly...
So I was driving and put in the new Jason Mraz CD. A song came on called "Details in the Fabric". I struck home. I finally cried. I just wanted to share with all of you. Here's a Youtube link if...
LovingHusband, my heart goes out to you and your family. My husband is gone, too (been 2 months) and it is a very hard thing, the waiting and the not-knowing. I'm glad to hear that you are putting...
I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. My husband left me 6 weeks ago. It's been a rough road, the past six years. But I'd do anything to have him back home. There were so many times I felt...
I'm terribly sorry to hear what you've been through. My mother-in-law has done the same to her husband. She's bipolar like my husband but is not aware that she is. I know she is. She gets drunk and...
Thank you, Serafena. I'm actually going to my doctor on Friday and am thinking about going to counceling soon. I've been fortunate enough to make some new friends who have helped me emotionally and...
We've been going through this for six years. He left 6 months ago for a week. It was a short mania. He's rapid cycling with a severe mania every 2 years. He was hypo manic (which was bearable because...
I feel for you. It is such a lonely road for us on the other end. It's been almost 5 weeks now since my husband loaded everything up in the truck, and left with my stepson. Says he's getting a...
Thank you tyanna. You described things very much to my situation, but he tried treatment for almost 2 years. I don't know. I can't cry- scared it's going to hit me all at once and I don't know what...
I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. My husband's been gone for about 4 weeks now. Has his own place and relocated my stepson to a different school. We've been together for years. I have...
1pisces, It's comforting to know that there are other people who understand. I'm so stir-crazy..feel like I'm going to lose my mind sometimes. What's your situation now? Is your husband still with...
I'm sorry, I didnt make myself clear. I'm not the one with bipolar, it is my husband. Like I said in the other postings, he has left me on avg., one to two times a year in the past 6 years. He starts...
I wrote a response in the thread "Bipolar Wife". My husband has been gone for close to 4 weeks now...told me he was going to get a divorce. It was our wedding anniversay Friday. It was so lonely. He...
I can relate 100% to what you are going through. I'm new to this site but have been on another site for about 2 years. My husband just left me again. He packed up everything, had friends help, took...
