Spouses of Bipolar in Active Relationships

I have asked him that before and he says he is not on steroids. I just don't know if he is telling me the truth about anything anymore. I really feel like the best thing would be for my son and I to move back closer to family. I have to try to find a job, place to live, etc. So overwhelming!!

Welcome azmom96, be safe, whatever you do, make sure you and your son are safe. My mom gave things away before she attempted suicide 5 different times. They do also give things away when they are manic too, so you never know, either way, it shows he is not stable. Please call the pdoc as married suggests, you need someone to help you with this and his dr is a great place to start.

I just don't know what to do. I love him so much and I can't stand to see him hurting like this. Of course, his behaviors are hurting everyone in the process. He calmly told me two nights ago that I could just get a uhaul and load our things and my car on a trailer and go. He said that's what I needed to do. Is he trying to warn me of something? All he mutters is that he doesn't want to hurt me anymore, but all of this is hurting me. I have no control over money as he got a separate account and deposits his checks in there. I am supporting my son and I off my savings. Hell I just had to pay the rent as he said he didn't have enough money. When I ask where the money is going, he accuses me of saying he's misusing it. I don't know where it's going. I'm so lost right now.

Im sorry you're going through this. I do think you should consider returning to your home town if you can. It doesn't mean it's forever but you can stabilize the situation there for you and your son.

You need to set some ultimatums. Either you and he go to the doctor together ASAP or you leave. You can't help him if he doesn't want to be helped.

Did you call the pdoc listed on the medication label as Married suggested?
