I have been diagnosed with Bipolar mood disorder, I was in an institution, I was and am still under the treatment of a specialist Psychiatrist. I take my meds regularly.  I am just at a point where I actually do not like my husband anymore, I do not want to be around him, he works away during the week, then I am fine, but when he comes home over week ends I turn into a b***h from hell. I resent him and blame him for everything.

    We can all change with Mental Illness, our lives force us to recognise where we are and what me need to do to help us move on. I made many changes some at the time were massive, they were hard at the time and now I have moved on in a better place

    The problem is we throw the baby out with the bathwater so we need to consider are we making these changes for the right reason.and if we are making change for the right reason. I found that my changes burnt boats and now I would be unable to go back those five years and expect people to accept my decisions.

    Rona Yes you may make changes, however your condition at this time may make you impulsive for change, this is the wrong reason. Yes we can feel we have grown distant from those around. Ask if the need for change is not your condition  pushing you into that you may repent at leisure 

    Ask yourself, is some Marriage Guidance a good idea, you need to talk with someone who is there as go between. My changes in some ways has changed my relationship somewhat with my Wife, She was helped to understand how I had changed.

    Give your Husband the benefit and talk, allow yourself that at least

    Hello...

    Where does your mood sit presently?

    Are you more towards mania or depression?

    Can you rationalise your feelings towards your husband, is there justification?

    Or do you think you’re falling out of

    love?

    Is he supportive?

    Do you genuinely feel you’ll be better off without him, or could it be your moods dictating your thoughts?

    I rile myself up & threaten to divorce my husband a fair amount, however once I’ve calmed I know my thoughts are ruling my emotions & intentions!

    Hi, what exactly do you blame him for? How does he treat you? Maybe it’s time to move on and start a new life for yourself if you feel that strongly about him. I have bipolar disorder with ADD and a borderline personality disorder component.  Sometimes I lash out at the wrong people, and definitely have mood swings even with medication. You should evaluate your current situation with your husband and be honest with yourself if it’s worth continuing on with your marriage. Good luck and do keep going to therapy and taking your meds. You will get bettersmile
