long story short: my husband is a very awesome supportive person most of the time but he does not believe in medication and mental illness for the most part. he often thinks that people use bipolar as an excuse for bad behavior, and his mom and sister definitely do that but not everyone.

my husband has been through the mental health system too for major depression, he had some bad experiences so i think this is also contributing.

i'm trying to explain that i am hearing things and he says i probably just have an ear infection. i try to explain everything else and he says i'm being a hypochondriac and overthinking.

i really try hard to watch my moods, i dont use bipolar as an excuse to be a jerk but he doesnt accept that i'm really sick. i'm afraid that if he does get out of denial and accept im bipolar and have psychosis issues once and a while he'll leave me.

any suggestions on how i should approach him about waking up to the fact i'm sick right now?
