Can someone in a hypomanic episode suddenly not have any feelings for someone they loved. My husband was depressed for a few weeks and then all of a sudden up and left. We had a long term relationship and children togather. Yet he, on an impulse, left us and has not had one regretful moment.I mean even if you had a bad marriage wouldnt you grieve some. We had a good relationship he was very loving to me right before the depression. But now he is a complete stranger.He is now already engaged to someone else. Can you totally loose all love for someone that quickly. Has anyone out there ever done this to a mate ,even going so far as to marry another in a manic episode.If so please tell me .My husband has left several times over the years but never gone this far.He just got through telling a relative that he never wanted to be in that position again(meaning, without me and his kids).Help me understand.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I think anyone in a hypo/manic state can have ANY sort of feelings or behaviors. Especially if he is unmedicated, it's always to expect anything and everything.
I do feel so sad for you and the kids. I wish I had more words to help. ((Carol)) You and your kids are in my thoughts and prayers.
it SOUNDS like he may be BP. Has he ever had any DX?
its just not normal to up and leave and have NO feelings.XOXOXO
I can share my experience with you. I realize now that I was in a manic episode when I told my ex that I wanted a divorce. The mania gave me the energy to act on something I had felt for a long time. I didn't love my ex.
It seemed like a snap decision to my ex because I hadn't shown any kind of clues but it really wasn't. I just had the energy to act on my feelings.
Now two years later (he's already remarried) I have some grief. But I know I did the right thing.
Obviuosly he wasnt happy where he was and he went for a change for better or worse who can tell. But your happiness doesnt depend on him being there for you. You are responsible for your own feelings. I beleave ibn you. Just the faact that you are willing to bring this up in a open forum is proof that you are looking at being a better person. I say go for it be the best happiest person on the block. I beleave you can do it.
