    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      divorced April 29, 2008 from husband who was diagnosed as bipolar in 1983. We have had a very rocky relationship throughout the years. I disagree with him & he leaves me. Two years ago, he served me with divorce papers. We reconciled again & moved to SC. He left me New Year's Day 2007 & I am trying to get my life back. I couldn't keep going through this with him - he is very controlling & does not like my son & thinks he's a loser that is on drugs & steals, which is totally wrong.

      Treatments

      Depakote Not Working
      spouse ended up in psych ward - drug lowered his bp so much he passed out when he stood up & made him a psycotic skitzo is back on lithium
      Lithium Somewhat Helpful
      he is drinking alcohol which our pdoc in NY said was not to be used at all. we now live in SC, which only makes him go to a regular doctor to get the meds rx - the doc here said he can drink!
    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Divorced from husband who was diagnosed as bipolar in 1983. We have had a very rocky relationship throughout the years. I disagree with him & he leaves me. Two years ago, he served me with divorce papers. We reconciled again & moved to SC. He left me New Year's Day & I am trying to get my life back. I ccouldn't keep going through this with him - he is very controlling & does not like my son & thinks he's a loser that is on drugs & steals, which is totally wrong.

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
      I am still in the process of trying to forgive Andy & the big one is trying to forgive myself.
      Leave Working / Worked
      I enjoy being alone, but miss the companionship - especially since I will not go out alone.
      Pets Working / Worked
      My 2 dachshunds are the best! They are my friends & it is nice to be needed by something that accepts & loves me for who I am no matter what.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      This was the best thing I ever did. I read the book "Becoming Real," and that helped me discover the pitfalls I always seemed to get myself into regarding bad relationships.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I am a talker & it helps me vent & get feedback from people I trust to keep my sanity & see things from a perspective outside of my issues.
