Just stopped by to say Hey! Have had a odd few months but just wanted to let you know that Gel was right. After some bad events between me and the H and me insisting he get some intensive help. He signed himself into a special hosptial for 72 hours of intense T and he was diagnosed bi-polar. He is now in intensive T and in a mens anger support group and on the proper meds he needs. So who knows about putting the us back into the relationship. We are giving things 3 months to see what kind of improvements we both make in ourselfs then we will decide if we will work on this marriage any further or just be done for good.
So good to hear from you!!! I'm also so glad that your H is now receiving the treatment, therapy, meds etc that he needs; hopefully he will realize that he will need to stay on the meds too (that was the problem with my XBF, he wouldn't take them regularly...or stay on them.)
Who knows...it's possible that you two could come back together, it's possible you may not either. Either way I think you are both going to benefit from what is happening now.
So...how are YOU doing Chrissy? What are you doing lately?
Wow! Hope you are okay. Bipolar would certainly explain a lot. I hope the program he is in does some good education for you and some family sessions too. Remember to take good care of yourself in the meantime.
I'm so glad you stopped in. If you have a minute tell us how you are.
My dad was bi-polar and was hospitalized twice to get symptoms under control. There ususally are signs that a manic/depressive episode is about to happen. For my dad it was increased aggression and alienating everyone around him. He was resistant to continuing meds. He would get feeling better and stop taking his pills. The mania/depressive cycle would kick in and he would end up in the hospital. It took two stints to convince him that he needed to stay on meds regardless of how he felt.
A therapist can help your H recognize the signs and help him with techniques to keep his moods under control.
Best of luck, Chrissy.
I don't mind the sun sometime
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and Sugar
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through someone elses eyes

I'm so glad for your husband that he's getting the medical treatment he needs. Whether or not it works out between the two of you, it is still a good thing for him.
Do I remember you posting that you were or had moved out?
