I've been in a bipolar depression for a little more than 8 months now. It's really affecting my husband's contentment with our marriage. Sometimes I think he gets it, and other times I think he doesn't. Today he implied that, "If I did something - - just anything" maybe I'd feel better or he'd feel better. I just feel so guilty about it, but I can't help/change the way I feel just because he's having a hard time with it. I wish I could change my life right now, but it's got such a firm grip on me that I feel powerless to make positive changes.
