I am newly diagnosed with bi polar depression and adhd. My dear sweet husband wants to blame everything under the sun on my conditions. Now, I am working very hard to learn about them and do what I can to treat them but I am still me. That will never change. For such a long time I didn't know what was going on with me. Staying up all night (sometimes with insomnia, sometimes with mania) and I would be irritable for no reason. I would interrupt him after every word he would try to get out if we attempted a discussion and I could never sit down and just relax and have a conversation. He says he has felt so alone. He says that he wants to woman he married back. Problem is...that woman will be changed forever. For the good. Now that I know or get an idea of why my behavior was such that I could be a very difficult person to live with. (hahahahaha. To say the least.) I can BE a partner to him again. If anyone has had or is having a similar set of circumstances I am here to learn and share and get better day by day. In being diagnosed with these two new illnesses I think I will be able to gain access to myself in a way I never have before because for so many years these things have been going on and I didn't know what it was and neither did he. Thanks for listening gang. I am new to the site and it feels good to be here. Any and all feedback is welcomed!!
