sgctxok - No I was not diagnosed with celiac. Hypoglycemia and an intolerance to wheat/gluten, which is basically the same. A food allergy. For example. Once on a clean diet for a min of 10 days I was reintroduced wheat/gluten and bam had a bad reaction. I got a red rash all over my body and within an hour I was totally exhausted and ended up sleeping about 16 hours. The 2nd test caused the exact same symptoms. I was depressed the entire next day as well. As for rage/anger it is diet based which also including avoiding preservative, colorings additives like MSG etc. No refined sugars or grains. Once the refined sugars, simple carbs and refined grains were removed I felt 1000% better. I mean it was drastic, I never felt anything like that before. I'm working with a doctor and nutritionist
failycrazy23 - as far as OM, she admitted to me during the last breakup that she cheated on me because of emotional emptiness. She stressed that it was not sexual, just emotional. I'm not sure if it was sexual, but I gave her the benefit and I also forgave her and told her that I understood why it happened. When we got back together she told me she told the OM that she could no longer have any communication with him and that was that. Does she still talk to him or others? I don't know. My guess is yes she does.
Arthur - I have provided quite a bit of stuff for her to go over. She says she did read through it and knows all about it, but I find that hard to believe because she just yesterday was saying that it's bipolar and I need meds not a diet. That was probably just anger spewing, but still shows to me that she is not willing to hear or learn anything more about hypoglycemia, food allergy or gluten intolerance.
DanceQueen - I know you are right on the money and she's basically said exactly what you have said. I know she was scared and had/has every right to be. Actually there has only been two diagnosis. The Bipolar/Manic Depressive diagnoses and hypoglycemia/gluten intolerance. The hypo was discovered this year, the bipolar ms-diagnoses has been standing for years and it IS the reason nothing really worked to permanently fix the problem. I was treated for the wrong problem. That's what I've been trying to explain to her, but she wants to hear non of it as she is just focused on all of the crap that occurred while under treatment for bi-polar. I do see your points though and I guess I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
She will not go to counseling and she only talks to her friends and family who are supporting and encouraging her decision.
BTW - when I asked her why she tore up that letter today she said because it was nothing but lies. Pretty much validates what you just said. She said her feelings (before this last episode) were fake and she was lying about them. I know that's total bull. She was talking about renewing our vows, was amazed how long it was since we argued or had a fight, was planing to start a business, move, get land and build a house etc. These were not just fake feeling, these were very detailed expressions and plans.
This is such a massive setback. We had awesome plans, we were getting along so good, everything was going great. I was falling so deep in love with her again and I know she was too. It was all just torn right apart in a period of a week or two. Now it's worse than it's ever been. I don't even know how I'm going to do any DB/DR now, I cannot even function and to top it off she is even more motivated than ever to get a divorce.
