I don't remember

I thought my husband took something. It was an ugly and epic arguement. 



I found it today.  I must have move it. But i have no memory of that.  I have to appologize. I'm afraid he'll always just assume I'm crazy from now on.  



How can I be so crazy?

I am bipolar. I apologized and he took it ok. But next time he will just think it's another example of me being crazy. As if it weren't hard enough.

I don't know what the definition of crazy is :-) but we are all bipolar here and have all messed up MANY times. Go easy on yourself and your husband. But yes, it is hard sometimes…

It can be hard but you can’t beat yourself up because you have a disorder. Your husband should understand. Things get hard just give yourself grace. xx take care!

Be gentle with yourself. Forgetfulness is annoying - I get it too.

Would your husband get angry if you had cancer? Or some other serious health issue?

So why does he not understand that bipolar is an actual illness in the brain? You take meds, and they make you feel better. Craziness is not bipolar disorder.

Besides even normal people lose things and forgot where they put it. It has. None thing to do with bipolar, unless you are so heavily medicated you are in a brain fog. If it is brain fog, talk to your pdoc. I was over medicated for 5. Years. I stopped taking prednisone for another disease, and got off my drugs, and was able to live quite normally, well, except for one thing! But better than the 5-6 drug combo my pdoc had me on. He even apologized for over medicating me.

I'm not sure this is about your husband being angry that your BiPolar, or that's not how it reads to me. It seems like it's more about him being accused of something he did not do, and it seems this may not be the first time that's happened.

Perhaps in the future instead of jumping to blame someone, you might first look for the item, and if you don't find it, then ask someone for help instead of accusing them of taking it. We do have a Mental Illness, and it can make us forget where we might placed something....but it doesn't give us a free pass to treat our loved ones badly or accuse them automatically.

Working with them and asking for help will probably be much more of a positive less stressful experience in the future.
