Hello Ya'll, Just joined today-and I'm glad to see this thread.

The last month has been a roll-a-coaster for me and almost ended in my Husband and I separating. Details may come out at another time as they may be relevant, yet not on this thread. I mention it because while we were on a two week trip (3700 miles of driving) to visit family in hospital in one town, a family re-union in another town, and seeing two adult children/in two other separate locations, he informed me he was going to file for a divorce when we get home. Needless to say my world fell apart that night, in a hotel six states away from home.
The next morning we barely spoke as we packed to leave,yet he looked at me and said," I'd be willing to go to marriage counselor before I file, but maybe we should live apart while we do".
My reply was, "At a local church-or Mental Health location?" I attend two local churches with friends and family 2-3 time a month/he attends on holidays. His answer was a church would be O.K.

We will have our first session this coming up Saturday, and I just wonder (what others who know they are bipolar think-at this point I am self-diagnosed) about if I should bring up my belief that I'm Bipolar from the get-go/or if I should hold off and handle it at another time.

Thanks for you opinions in advance, I'm swingin' in the wind here, and need advice!
