It's like living with a kaleidoscope. I take good care of myself and he takes good care of me too. He isn't oblivious to the stress he puts on me so in his more lucid moments he does his best to "make it up to me" as he puts it.

I started a weight loss goal to give myself some focus that didn't involve anyone but me. I lost 40 lbs for our wedding and I feel much much better. The added energy has helped with my ability to cope with everything.

He has no issue taking the meds but he is completely against the therapy side of it. He is very much an alpha male and I think he sees that as admitting he can't handle something which in his world just doesn't happen. I am doing my best to get him to see it as a means to an end but am having no luck. I might have to use rope and duct tape to get him there...but I will!
