no prob. Have you ever heard of Julie Fast? she's bipolar and written a lot about the management thereof. She has a system of health cards to use with significant others or family members. Of course, some money is involved. But a lot of this is common sense. Should be a good bit of info online. Wonder if you could enlist your guy into things like using "cuing words" and you agreeing to working with him on this??? Just my humble two cents. I have personally and known some folks that had some success with this sort of thing. If he doesn't want to do this, well, there are many who don't, or who get tired of it. But if he knows you're on your meds and trying to practice good self care, maybe that will help. I've found that thinking before I speak or react sometimes helps, but it's hard. However, there are many people who are bipolar who live happy and successful lives. I hope you get this worked out and sorry I can't be of more help!
