Whats hard is that you do love your husband I can only speak from personal experience i can not force religion or God on you. It is my experience that prayer changes things maybe not right away but it does. For example pray that God would bring clarity to your husbands mind. What is really at stake and can be harder is to work on yourself. You need a healthy support system a councilor and a close friend you can trust with your feelings, and don't let your emotions and feelings guide you. Your husband isn't bad he is just sick pray that he would humble himself and be teachable, don't get mad at him love him that is your commitment, don't live in the past where you wish things would be before he got sick. He was always sick their were crisis and triggers that made his sickness more known all i can say is just love, pray, and commit. I hope this helps. I have included my blog, also I am bipolar myself.

I think mine may be Bipolar, but he refuses that anything is wrong with him. He says that the Lord has told him that he is perfectly normal. We are a religious family so this doesn't sound abnormal to me. Except I don't feel that God would tell him such a thing. We are on the road to a divorce. I am just trying to comprehend all the crazyness that has happened. So your husband didn’t show any signs before this episode?

This is freaking me out. I'm the BP one in the family. I've been diagnosed with BPII--which is supposed to be the more 'benign' version. i asked my doc point blank what the chances were of me 'going' BPi--he said 'zero.' 'Zero' because there is no chance of onset of those kinds of symptoms this late in life (i'm 42). But your spouse was presumably over 40 when his began. Now I'm running over to my doc to make sure i give him a waiver so my wife can talk to him when i freak her out (which, thankfully, isn't TOO often, or TOO bad--at least, according to me). Peace Man.
