| A little about me: | I am in a relationship with a Man who was Diagnosed with bipolar Disorder this Morning. He has his first script for Depikote and, I am relieved to here there is a name for what he has been like and, even a treatment. I thought he was just cruel or, something. For about a year now we have been (Almost Over) I have tried everything, I was truly bown out of tyhe water today with his diagnosis of BIPOLAR. I am a student, studying Psychology. I wasnt thinking BIPOLAR maybe sociopath but not BIPOLAR. I Missed it, must be so close that I couldnt see it? Now, I have used every search engine looking for info on "BIPOLAR" Other then that, I am Marci, 37 female, Washington ST. (seattle area) have children and, trying to make sence of the last three years.. and You? |
My Hugs
 | a hug for a wonderful 2009 ahead of us ;-) |
| your latest diary entry gave me chills. my bipolar hubby recently told me he has been doing cocaine. i can't fucking believe that!! cocaine, seriously? he does exactly the same thing to me, he will say, i'm going (wherever) i'll be right back, then i won't see him for the rest of the night. he turns his phone off so i can't reach him, then when he finally drags his ass home, he'll be so sorry and say he was just freaking out and couldn't come home? what the hell is that suppose to mean?? i've missed so much work after being up all night worrying about him. and then he wonders why i freak out everytime he leaves the house. it's b/c i never know if he's coming back!! he's being super clingy right now, but i know it won't last, he'll be back to his old ways soon. is your hubby on meds? i kept wondering why my hubby's meds weren't really working, it's b/c he's been doing drugs! kenny says he knows he needs help, we have an appointment with a rehab counseler on 12-28. that seems so far away, i hope he can hold on that long. message me if you need to talk, sounds like we have a lot of the same stuff going on. |
| hi marci, some similarities... my fiance is on depakote too... we met Jan 11, 20007... he bought me the best ring i ever had--engagement ring! im a psycholgy graduate... perhaps i should say at this point that nothing really helps to maintain a healthy relationship with a bipolar... its indeed a rollercoaster... an almost a year of engagement is not enough to know everything about him...a ring can not give an assurance of everlasting love...taking depakote to stabilize his moods is not a guarantee for a lasting stability...understanding psychology is not enogh to understand him... nothing! i think there's nothing in this world would keep our hearts from all the pains that this illness would cause. perhaps what's left for us Faith in God and Hope for better days ahead with or without our bipolar loved ones. hugs and prayers for you! |
| Hold your head high! Sometimes we are too close and sometimes we are afraid of what we will be told. You sound very supportive. The meds as I'm sure you already know will hopefully start helping things along. i see a phcotherapist and I meditate this is a great help, everyone is different. I see he had one great thing in his favor. Your there for him HUGS T |
| Good luck with dealing with your boyfriends diagnosis. It's a long road to go down, but things will get better! Read lots about it to get a better understanding of whats going on and what he could receive for treatment in the coming days. |
