Wait for it.....
"If you go off your meds, I am out the door."
Great support system. Jerk.
I expected maybe, "Don't do that. I know it's hard. Do you want me to give your doses each day?" or "Promise me you'll take your meds. Let's put it in writing."
So apparently, I can't go to him when I am in trouble because he'll leave me.
I see that bottom rising toward me really fast now.

I have found Bipolar Disorder to be a very lonely place to be. People around you, even your family, can have a very hard time understanding the mood swings. Although my husband is supportive, he still has a hard time understanding. I am a rapid cycler, I often bounce around the block several times a week. It irratates me when he asks me what is wrong!!!
Look up not down! You can only be at the bottom if you allow it to suck you in. Make an appointment with you therapist! Find support somewhere, since you are not getting it at home. Maybe your husband sould attend your therapy sessions too! Maybe he just does not fully understand your condition.
