    • About Me

      I'm still here, after everything that's happened, I'm still here. I'm 37, a father of two, a dedicated husband. My wife suffers from Bipolar, OCD, and all around crappy coice making. Unfortunately her past history of incest, sexual abuse and now Bipolar, have left our family racked with the images of risque adulterous behavior spurned by unknown manic episodes. We are trying our best (and succeeding) at beating back this mess and returning to a normal life. I'll eep everyone posted to hear the results. I am more than willing to share greater details with any and all who want to know or hear what I've gone through...just ask.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My wife (29) was admitted and diagnosed with bipolr I. I unfortunately discovered this after a string of spending sprees and 4 different affiars in a few months time. It's like she changed overnight and has been lost ever since. She's now out of the hospital and undergoing a PHP program. Will I ever get my wife back again?

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      Was on it when she went manic this first time. It works, but it also is very bad for the wright ghain.
      Depakote Not Working
      sleepy, groggy, loss of balance, weight gain, loss of hair
      Geodon Working / Worked
      Stopped the weight gain and hair loss. So far this had been the best drug my wife has used.
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      Helping her to free herself of past demons and depression
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Seems to be working alright. Kind of makes her sleepy
      Trileptal Too Soon to Tell
      Was on it briefly but then removed for Trilepat. Seemed to work alright.
    • Close Infidelity

      I discovered that my wife is Bipolar I, which produces a manic stage which presents itself with hypersexuality, impaired judgement, wreckless actions and behaviors. I also discovered at this time that she's had 4 affairs over the last few months while in a manic swing. It sucks to know you've been cheated on, and it sucks even more to know that perhaps a sickness had something to do with it. She is now being medically treated and stabile now she's is horribly depressed and ashamed

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      We saw a counsellor durring a stable mood period and it seemed to help work the communication issues, however it was for nothing as she slipped back into her behaviors once her mood swung high.
      Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
      I'm trying to forgive, I keep telling myself i have no other choice, but the thoughts and the imagery wont go away.
    • Open Sex / Pornography Addiction

      My 12 year wife (29) was just diagnosed with Bipolar and Sexual Addiction Compulsion. I learned this after discovering a string of sexual affairs (4 different men) in a few months time. She was cheating on the cheaters. This woman has been perfect for 11 years, and all of a sudden this year hit her like a ton of bricks. The bipolar was never treated and for some reason the two afflictions created the perfect storm this summer/winter.
