Am I facing this alone?
NO ADAM YOUR NOT. I was diagnosed with bipolar when i was 14 and forced on drugs, it screwed me up for the future. My mother didn't know what was wrong with me and sent me to a mental institute 2 times, but for my own well being she said from 14-18 i was put on every medication you can thing of, old and new, very bad side effects. I am an insomniac too. Which is not good. When i met my boyfriend a year and half ago, i was on NEURONTIN,EFFEXOR,SEREQUEL,PROZAC, AND PAXIL! If you know those medications, i was fryed . Anyway no joke with all those meds supposed to keep me calm and slow, I was a total B*. My Attitude and lookout on life was suicide and no one could change my mind. Till i stopped taking the meds. One by one i stopped one a month. So i am fine, I do still have anxiety and still have Insomnia, but its nothing how it used to be.
If you would share with me the meds you wife takes? If you dont mind. If you do its ok i understand. I hope you and your wife do well from this time on, many blessings to yall, and Happy Thanksgiving.
