What do you do on your bad days? The ones where you might have had a med adjustment and can't stop crying or feeling anxious, but you can't hide it?

Actually, he drove me to the psych ward 2 wks ago. I did not tell him I was suicidal just said stress, anxiety, and nightmares. He was very supportive. I don't really let him in on the severity of my list of diagnosis. Sometimes I wait to cry when he's gone to work, but if I'm having a panic attack he never understands. He does blame my parents for not getting me help earlier and my mom's very controlling. So from that aspect he can see I came from dysfunction. One HUGE mistake I made is letting him in on my past molestation. This really did a bunch of damage for our sex life. We had a therapy session regarding my flash backs of the abuse. Big mistake! Now he says hurtful things like you don't like or want sex. As far as coping skills - I gained about 50lbs in the last 2 yrs from meds and I quit smoking. I know it's superficial, but I want to lose weight and make an effort to look better. Mental illness and the added weight automatically makes me want to stay home in pajamas and eat carbs! So, I'm walking and trying to have a better diet. And the reason I joined AA and quit smoking pot was because my husband hated my drug use. So, that was a huge positive bc it was ruining our marriage. it does bother me that he smokes cigarettes and sometimes gets tipsy, but I was far worse. I hope you got some help from my rambling. PM me anytime
