Bipolar Disorder

Quote From: maineman1971

i do have support but i don't know how long my wife will stick with me and as for other support i have it but it seems to get me nowhere. So basicially i feel alone and lost.

Sorry to hear that you feel alone and lost.   I think bipolar can be a lonely illness because only "we" know how it feels.  Has your wife ever gone to any therapy appointments with you?  Maybe if she is part of the treatment she will stick with you.  Also encourage her to read up on the illness, the more we all learn about this illness the easier it is to cope with it.

 

Maybe someone else will jump in with words of wisdom.  :)

If you stay completly honest with her that wil help alot. My husband and I have been togeather almost 9 years and married 1 year. It has been the hardest year ever. I had to baker act him last month. I felt like I turned my back on him. He fills that way to for he thinks he is not bipolar. But he see some one for it. And he had to be bakeracted last year for it. It runs in the family so we know he is.As his wife I feel alone because everyone is woried about him. Which it is not about me, I am not saying that. I know he feels alone. He feels like he is not in control and he has no clue who he as a person is. But you feel you lost your partner. IT JUST SUCKS for everyone. When you do feel ok make sure she knows that you love her. Talk to some one with your wife, communication is a plus. I am just saying from exper. What I did learn from my husbands mom is diet is a big plus and exersise. You can google it and there is a lot on what you can and can not have. What vit. you will need. Just a little advice. I hope everything goes great for you. keep your hope up.
