Just making my rounds and checking in to see you...
Seems you are doing wonderfully though I never doubted it.
On a previous page, you mentioned your IC wanted you to maybe go to psych appt. with wife?
Being bipolar, here is my 2 cents - Don't force that...
You asked and she stated how it made her feel...
Give it time...
I have been going to these appts. for 21 years and not once have I been comfortable enough to have anyone accompany me, hell I don't want to accompany me half the time lol...
The disease in my opinion is very personnal and not all of it is easily shared...
There are thoughts/actions/feelings going on that are humiliating and she may not be ready for you to see that side of her.
(((Hugs)))
Thanks Serenity. I will not push it. She cancelled her last appointment her psych. Should I ask her to reschedule? She has not seen him since going off the meds. But, I do think she is doing as well now as she ever did on the meds. She believes that she is doing better now off than she ever did on. She describes it as "more grounded".
There is an unofficial (not in DSM IV) diagnosis of bipolar III. This is essentially bipolar where the mania or hypomania is induced by anti-depressants. I am beginning to wonder if this is not what my W is dealing with. I guess only time will tell.
