Carolyn, I am crying just reading your post. There was a time in my life where I got so depressed that I didn't care about anything. I knew I had bi-polar but didn't want to take all those damn pills all the damn time so I stopped. I guess fortunately for me I didn't have anyone depending on me. Some of the other posts are somewhat right. Your first priority should be YOURSELF. As long as you are taking care of yourself everything else should fall into place. You can't take care of anyone unless u r taking care of yourself. You would be surprised by how many of your fellow "soccer moms" are bi polar. Some just may not know it. Don't feel the need to "keep it in the closet", it is more widespread then you realize. I am speaking from both sides. I was the child being raised by a bipolar mother who wouldn't seek help, and am now a bi polar adult struggling to maintain myself for the sake of my children. I feel I am doing a much better job because I am seeking all the available treatment for my disorder. PLEASE also do the same. Not because of what your husband has threatened to do but for yourself. YOU should always be the most important person in YOUR life. So take care of yourself. You never know what miraclous things the world has planned for you. Take care. BE BLESSED!
