I like everything that's been said so far. I also want to add that when I'm depressed, anyway, it makes it harder to see my situation objectively. I think you may feel like a burden, but he probably doesn't see it that way at all. It's hard to see a loved one suffering and not help!

My husband wanted me to share everything. I always keep everything inside. So for a while, I did. It stressed him out. I think average people don't understand what goes on in the minds of people in the midst of a manic, mixed, or depressed episode. Anyway, I've dialed it down.
