I posted this on PIECING earlier in week, but thought I would put over here for anyone who may have known story here.


I feel like what I'm about to write is like The old TV show Dallas when supposedly dead Bobby appeared in the shower and told his W--"it was all a dream".

You see my wife hasn't come home the last 2 nights and probably can't for another 4 or 5. Yes I wrote CAN'T.

I have been writing about how she was "mourning" the loss of EA. Well, things deteriorated. She got very paranoid that "people" were trying to keep them apart, that "people" were now spreading rumors. At first I just thought she was feeling guilty (and that may stil be true).

However, over the weekend, she became very paranoid. Sunday night, she didn't sleep at all. She was very agitated. Doctor got her a sleeping pill for Monday night--she slept a couple hours, then was bad again. I told her about 4am, we need an emergency psych eval. She said, "I can't wait until morning. Let's go now." Got someone to sit at home with kids (woke d10 who had picked up on erratic behavior to tell we were taking Mommy to the Hospital) and headed to ER.

W now is inpatient in a LOCKED PSYCH unit. They have diagnosed her as a Paranoid Psycosis and likely Manic phase of Bipolar Disorder. She had some postpartum depression after D5, but never any mental illness before.

I decided to let EA trainer know what was going on yesterday. We spent about 15min on phone. He says he never had feelings for her, other than friendship. She had just grown so attached to him, he didn't think he was effective as her trainer anymore. So when she blew up at him, he thought it best to just slip away.

Makes me wonder if all EA and MLC was "delusions of grandeur" common in Bipolar that I missed all along. Of course, I was busy trying to figure out how to save my M from EA.

Not much else to say right now--obviously I'm not running away. It will take some time to figure out where to go next.

Thanks for listening!
