Bipolar Support Group

the email my husband just sent me, he is definitely on a roll.

He got sent to his head office yesterday and he basically told me he showed them a thing or two and informed them not only was he well versed in their operations there but that he informed them personally of elements of their roles their that they were not aware of. He also stated that he met people who thought he was just a myth and both impressed people and made them feel sorry for him. He also carousing the place with his cup of coffee gained access to all information at corporate privy to manager status.

Are we headed for a crash soon?

I don't think I even replied yet I just thought oh boy here we go. I wouldn't want to say anything to take the wind out of his sails.

Okay here is my question? Is there a way to calm him down a bit? Or will anything I say in an attempt to do that make him angry?

Here's a couple of examples.

1) Okay your trippin'. So are you going to be home to take the trash out tonight or not?

2) I'm worried about you, I know you left in a rush did you remember to grab your meds on the way out the door?

Is there anything I can say?

At the same time I say all of this he needs all that energy to pull off what he needs to get done, just not the superego that goes with it.

I wish I could help you - I never could figure the right thing to say - when I deal with my son I just try to say what he wants to hear, otherwise he gets upset - that's probably not the best way - but I just dont know what to tell you. Maybe someone else will have a better answer.

I too have learned to just say "wow, you are amazing" or "they cant live without you" or it causes major drama. I should weigh 675lbs with as much ego as I eat in any given day.

He just called and still has a giant chip on his shoulder. He said he had to let them know that well, they live in a walnut. Also he said instead of being a myth now he can be a legend.

I hope I'm the only one thinking a$$hole!

Anyway he's my a$$hole and I love him and at least he called and is heading this way, might not be home until late but will be home. That's the good news.
