From reading everyone's post it looks like it gets easier with time and treatment, so I am holding on to that hope.

My husband was the one who told me I needed to see a psychologist. He saw my mood swings and realized it was more than depression. He threatened to leave if I didn't get help. So you think he would be supportive right?? Well I didn't even tell him specifics except that my doctor wanted to put me on a stronger mood stablizing drug he seemed extremely surprised. Due to his reaction I haven't gone into specifics except i'm getting treatment.
