One giant leap forward! - Part 3

T,

I don't know if I can copy and paste info here so I won't. However, bipolar people usually have large mood swings in short spaces of time. Really low, then a few hours later really high, etc. The list of symptoms alone can be very misleading, depression, altered sleep pattern, irritability, grandiose ideas - I could be easily be classified as bipolar if you read the list. It is the consistent behaviors you need to go by.

Granted we are only hear your side of the story but from what you have described she sounds like a fairly normal WAW who is frequently irritated by her LBS, can feel depressed at times (who among us doesn't) and is very good at manipulation.

I only cautioned you because it seems like this label is placed on so many people nowadays and the medicines aren't anything to fool around with.

I was also thinking about you earlier and wanted to reply to your comment that her going to a MC session showed her willingness to work on the marriage and her commitment (or something along those lines). Not really. It does sound like things are different than they were, so she very well may be. I am just cautioning you to remember that many on here have been through this only to find out their spouse was just going through the motions at MC. I went to MC for a year and had no idea what I wanted. I would answer what I knew everyone wanted to hear and most of the time I was thinking in my head "I can't wait to get out of this M". You definitely seem to be making progress but you still want to remember "believe nothing that they say and only half of what they do".
