I was started on Lamictal and diagnosed as bipolar type 2 6 weeks ago. Before the Lamictal I was in a bit of a rut. Not keeping up with housework, not doing much at all really. I was still cooking and caring for my kids but only doing what I had to outside of that.

About 2 weeks ago that all changed. I'm now happy, energetic, motivated. My house is clean, I've gone room by room and cleaned them out. I'm keeping up with the laundry, you can see my laundry room floor and its spotless. Anyway I'm not manic or hypo manic I just feel good.

Today I told my husband that I hope the Lamictal is causing this and I hope it continues. He said he hoped so to because I had just given up before and he was about ready to give up also

He had to leave right after that so I didn't get a chance to ask him what he meant. I've been feeling good and grateful to be feeling so good. Now I feel like this disorder is ruining my life.

What happens when I hit a slump again? Is he going to get tired of it? We've been married 15 years and have 3 kids. I've been like this the whole time.

Is he just venting or he is fed up? I can't snap out of it or stop it. I've tried

Before this discussion he gave me some money he was saving to pay off my car. I didn't even know he had that much saved up. If he was tired of me why the heck would he give me all that money?
