My husband does the exact same thing! The Dr. told me that it is very common for people with bipolar to have obsessive compulsive disorder and various addictions. My husband has spent THOUSANDS of dollars on "collectibles" comics, cards, frankin mint, hallmark,and lots of "free junk" like broken electronics and computer stuff. Like you, we don't have the room for this and it is stuffed all over the house, causing fights. (No room for anybody elses stuff) It has also caused financial hardships because of the thousands of dollars he has spent and when he is manic his paycheck is HIS MONEY to do as he pleases!!! My paycheck is ours to pay the bills. He DOES contribute but nowhere near what he should be. ALso there is alcohol abuse, which he denies because it is ONLY BEER and I am such a NAG! I'm tellin ya that is why I've been seriously contemplating divorce.  |
