I am sad all the time because life here is so lonely..
Do you feel that way? JacieView Thread

My hubby thinks he has no problems and refuses to go back ta therapist again but thankfully takes his meds. Our lack of intimacy even cuddling has made me so lonely i cry so much and i hate that,,,i don't eat much haven't for 10 years as we have been together 14 years and he just says he hates being touched. I can't leave him he will hurt himself for sure.

There are people who get this disease that are lawyers and doctors and teachers. They are fortunate to have the lesser dangerous form of it and with the right medicine can lead a normal life. My husband is one of those lucky ones..but for 110 years life was awful and scary. With 2 young kids i never knew what mood he was going to be in and the money he blew could have payed off our house more or less..
He got on a cocktail of tegratol and wellbutrin and for 4 years it has been good, not perfect but good. He still hates giving and recieving hugs from anyone and no personal relations for 114 years. His own therapist told me to move on??
I said why. Ok i have to give up closeness but he truly is a good man that has always worked, runs marathons for cancer, the mentally handicapped, arthritis, epilepsy also and has raised alot of money yearly. He has always held down the same job before i met him and is well liked.
Sure his moods are unpredictable but he is my best friend.View Thread

I am in a wheelchair because of a bone disease and i fall constantly and break bones in my wrist and hips. It is September 30 my birthday and i just turned 37. Guess what i don't get disability monthly because they say my hubby makes too much money before taxes. But once taxes is taken off we are just above the poverty line, sure sucks!View Thread

Then without planning we got pregnant and all hell so to speak.
He was raging at me daily and i knew something was very wrong...I knew nothing about bipolar but knew he had to be accesed by a someone in the mental health field and found out he already had a therapist and was supposed to be on lithium. But he stopped taking it before he met me.He was put in police lockup 2 times from neighbours calling police because of threats he was yelling to me.i was terrified of him and had no siblings. No one i knew wanted to get involved.
His therapist got a court order to hold him 72 days or more in the phych ward and get him back on lithium.Took a week with me involved and learning what bipolar was and a promise for weekly sessions. He went without fail i made him take his medicine and he picked fights so often i lost count, He hated affection and i suffered for it and the kids, my 15 year old barely hugs even though i hugged her constantly. I read about a new cocktail that could make one with the milder form with bipolar so very much better and it was like having a new man in my life. With his stubborn
and i am stubborn too we are making this work. It may not be a normal marriage but we are very slowly working on it.
