No one needs to know about your Dx or your meds., or lack of. If you can't bring yourself to take them but want to talk to a therapist. When I first went to my pdoc I told him I don't want medication because I'm so bad at taking it. After a long discussion (yes discussion , not lecture) I did try a mood stabilizer, that I'm still on. It feels a lot better having a lot of control over what I am on.

My husband apologized for "making" me take meds. He didn't realize how much that hurt our relationship and made it so I didn't speak up when I needed to change meds. Now that he's on a lot of meds he understands more. Find a Pdoc that will listen and a relationship therapist for you guys to help learn how to deal with this illness as a couple. It's not as simple as just take your meds and your fine. Best of luck.
