I have come to learn that obsessing is just part of it. I would like to know how long have you and mikey been married. I've been diagnosed with bipolar 1 for almost 2 years and i'm just now tring to figure out how to help myself and help my husband deal with this. Any suggestions? And to you GOODGRIEF Is that folder thing like a scrap book for your computer? If so I wish i knew about this site along time ago!!!!! |
Hey babygrl! Welcome to the boards! I'm really glad that you like my posts... I just try to write what is going on and what I feel, and I hope it will help someone out there!!! Mikey and I have been married for 3 1/2 years. We met on the internet 6 years ago. I've always had problems with depression and anxiety (as the doctors called it)... but didn't get the bipolar diagnosis til recently. And, really, I haven't gotten the diagnosis. I actually found the word in my chart a couple of months ago from my former doc. So, I'm going to a psychiatrist in September (or hopefullly sooner) to hopefully get a word for all of this crap I go through. I would say I feel okay about 80% of the time... sometimes I'm pretty wound up... or slightly manic. But I don't have full blown mania. The part that bothers me the most is the depressive states. I had a breakdown a couple weeks ago, and haven't had one since. After that I was pretty tired for a day or two... then I went into a really hyper mood... talking a lot, hypersexual (mikey always loves those spurts haha), and more ambitous. Now, I'm just tired in general. I don't know if I'm slipping down again, I hope I'm not. But, I've been pretty quiet and feel like I'm extra sensative. So who knows.
But anyways, now that I've rambled on and on...
I'm glad you and your hubby are working through this. It's tough, and I haven't found any real tricks to help my Mikey out. BUT, my therapist did give me a worksheet last week. It is a list of things that I want Mikey to do (and not do) when I get like that... Basically it would be kind of like making a game plan. I haven't filled it out yet, but Mikey seemed to think it would really help. I guess the more they can learn the better they will be able to help us. I would say a search online for something like that would help. Or, if you are in therapy, asking your counselor. But anyways, I think I'm gonna go to bed...
Take care and talk to ya later.
