I created this introduction thread due to the number of introductions posted on the "Bipolar Chat" sticky. The Bipolar Chat that I lead is now scheduled on Fridays at 9 PM EST. It will cover a variety of topics which will be posted in the chat announcement and outlines will also be posted for those unable to make the chats. The first Friday of the month Wingin'it will lead an open Bipolar Chat. Those will Bipolar are also invited to the Depression Chat on Wednesday at 9 PM EST, but there will be significant overlap in topic.

Hi, I don't have bipolar but my spouse does. It has been almost 4 years since he was diagnosed. It was the worst thing that we have been thru in our 28 years of marriage. My husband went from being a loving man to a teenager right in front of me. I have to lead him to do everything. He doesn't know his t5riggers and it has went from bad to worse with each maniac attack he seems to get more violent. Whenever he has an attack he says he is a prophet and I am satan . The last one he said that he had to divorce because I didn't do what he said. I started getting depressed last year with my situation and I admitted myself to a mental health facility. I was diagnosed with depression. I am trying to fight my depression and deal with his disease too. Nobody understands what I am going through they say I worry to much but my husband sleeps all day and he wont even take care of his basic needs. I have been through so much and I am just too tired that I really feel like this may be the end of our marriage. My kids are all grown but they feel like I should just take of him and not complain at all. bUT I am at my wits end and I don't know how much more I can take. Just need someone to listen my family and friends think that I am over reacting but you don't unless its happening to you.
