I have been reading posts here for awhile. Time to join the club  In 2 days time I am marrying a man (K) who has rapid cycling bipolar I disorder. I joined this site not only for support for the toll being with him takes on me emotionally and physically but because I also want to see things from his side. I want to understand what he is going through so I can better prevent triggers and help him get this disorder under control.
We have just begun the process of getting him diagnosed and currently he is on anti-anxiety meds but he needs something more. Some days he is all for going to the psychiatrist and others he isn't. He has no insurance so we are waiting till after Saturday to make him an appointment with the psychiatrist as I will then be able to get him on my insurance. Any advice on the best course of action to get him the best help I can would be greatly appreciated.
