I feel good today, but it was a rough weekend. My husband is experiencing some depression/anxiety and maybe some OCD and it has hit him like a ton of bricks. He is just having such a hard time. I feel useless, as I am dealing with so much on my own. He is very restless, anxious, bored. He also gets picky over stupid little things which I try so hard to stay non-reactive about but you just can't put two people with our extreme symptoms in the same room. It's actually comical thinking about it now. He says something....I overly react to it. Later in the day I felt better, so I was able to feel more "stable" about the situation. The real problem is he probably won't take medication for help. It makes me so angry and I also feel so powerless about his stubborness and unwillingness to see his issues. I have to work and I mean work so so hard at keeping my head above water....I mean doing things that help me. We are going to a counselor this week. I am grateful for that.

i\'m glad your having a good day today sweetie. i know it is hard when both of you have issues. my husband is also bipolar so when we are both cycling it can get pretty rough. he takes his medicine and stays in touch with his doctor on a regular basis so i am thankful for that. maybe in time your husband will get the help he needs. i\'m so glad you two are going to see a counselor i hope it will help him recognize the need for medicine. i don\'t know what i would do without my meds be crazy for sure lol. hugs to you and i will have you in my prayers.
