Hello everyone,
It feels like forever that I have posted. I notice that when my H is manic that is when I need the most help and thank goodness to all of you, but when he is depressed he is actually very nice and we can live with that!
Since he has been on meds he is much better but definitely still very difficult in his manic moods. Well he has owned his own business and with this economy makes no money but will not let go of the business. Owners want him to leave but he wants to sue and is dragging it and is just in denial. What do I do, I keep telling him to give up and see if he can go on disability due to the Bipolar Dx but he feels lost and confused. I do not know if it is at all possible to do this. I have offered him looking for work but no one hires him He went to his doc who just tells him to take more drugs so now he is depressed and out of it. he wants to work and has since 16 years old . He is 47 so maybe it is time to think of something else!!
He has had his business for 20 years and it kept him feeling that he could do something and without it he feels lost! ANY IDEAS!!
Hugs and Peace XOXOXO

" wow that is so tough...I dont have advice either, I can only say I understand you completely, my husband started a company 3 years ago, in the first year it was a million dollar company, then he just walked away from it due to the BP, now his ex partner has stopped "paying him off" so to speak, and he wants to fight him in court, I have told him a hundred times to just let it go, I know he doesn't have a leg to stand on but still he feels like he is due the money, I have tried to be supportive but I can't when I don't believe it is the right thing to do....I wish I could offer you words of wisdom, but I can't...sorry girl....stay strong though and if you ever wanna talk I am here..... "
