 well, i'm on day 7 of my hubby's manic episode. he's on meds, he's been fine, i have no idea what the hell is going on. i feel so stupid for staying with him through all this shit. for all i know he's with another girl right now. he lies nonstop when he gets like this. he promised he'd be home 6 hours ago and he's not answering his phone of course. i do not understand how he can be so in love with me and want to spend all his time with me, then just turn it off like this. does anyone else experience this? i'm completely at a loss right now. should i just leave him? when i mentioned that today he freaked, he says he loves me so much and it's not over. why is this happening? sorry i sound so desperate, but i truly am. i just wish i could understand

 don't leave him... A week ago I picked a fight (while manic) and walked out on my husband that I dearly love! Can't explain why only that I fight everyday to try to hold it together and it's hard... that day I almost ruined what I have. I have a wonderful hubby who's patient and understanding. Believe me when your husand comes down he'll regret everything and wish with all his heart he could take it back.

 crzy- do you have less respect for your hubby when he takes you back like that? i don't want my hubby to think i'm going to stick around for all this abuse, but at the same time, i want to be there for him and be understanding. i guess i'm just afraid if i don't do something, he's going to treat me like this forever.

 honestly, when we work it out I try really hard to make up for everything... with him, my kids my family my friends. I swear it's like I'm way up , then way down and on those rare occasions that I'm somewhere between I spend it apologizing to everyone for something. I know it can't be easy I wonder how my husband how stuck with me. I just thank God that he loves me... I will tell you one thing that he does to help me open up is he's not afraid to lay it all out there and yell right back. LOL Not saying that would work for you and your hubby but for me it's like okay I'm not the only nutty one here

 I wish I could make it clear what happens in my mind... but there are times that I don't remotely get it. And it's like one minute my mind is racing and I can't slow down and I just gotta go.... leave everything that means so much to me behind and abandon all responsibility and RUN! Then the next minute I'm crashing and can't pull myself out of this abiss I'm in and I would rather die than even get out of bed... I can't tell you how many times I planned what to do and how to do it. And honestly had I had the strength emotionally and physically I would have went through with it. I hope it works out for you! I totally bow my head to you. I really impressed that you stood by him! You love him.

 thanks for the insight. i know i'll never truly understand what he goes through, i feel so bad for him and everyone that has this disorder. are you on meds? i'm wondering if his will have to be changed now that he's manic or if he'll just go back to being ok?

 On a lighter note I know my husband's famous line to me has become I can't wait till your meds kick in! Somedays I don't find that funny others I can laugh with him, I hope you find the day you guys can laugh together! It's hard but for your sake I hope he tries. Anytime you need to chat let me know... good luck
