Wow, i just can't thank you all enough. What wonderful and insightful responses. You know i thought the hardest part about bipolar was the extreme ups and downs, but i've been noticing lately i have a lot of weak hills (ups and downs) that are really beginning to make me sea-sick. This was one of them set off (triggered) by my husband. When i originally wrote this, it was the night before when it happened and that morning my husband was *not talking to me* and it threw me for a down hill. i felt completely helpless and literally trapped. I felt i only had two choices. black or white. it was So incredibly scary for me...and you all were right there.
My God what incredible people you all are.now that a few days have past things are much better and i don't feel that i only have two choices, but it was your input that helped remind me of this.
But i feel bad, sometimes i feel like such a drama queen. i didn't mean for it to play out that way. and i'm sorry if anyone was put off by that post, but i was truly feeling trapped when i wrote it.i have since talked with my husbad and things are ok...at least for now.
he's not exactly a talker and i'm not always good at expressing myself but as my T would say, at least i said what i needed to- he can interpret as he will but i've said what was important. that i need my privacy and i'm not doing it to push him away and the best way he can help me through this is to accept and respect that. And i made it clear (i hope) that i am not "all better". that i am still fighting this... and i will everyday for the rest of my life. but that having the love, support and understanding from him will be the best way he can help me do this.
i think it got through.I just can't thank all of you enough. You truly are the best!
Much LOVE AND THANKS.
