It annoys me so much that he thinks a specific event or trigger is causing this. He is a very logical person and mental illness defies logic. I feel even more alone talking to him. I really don't know what to do to help myself right now.

Soo sorry you are feeling that way. Can you call your pdoc? Therapist-if you have one? If you are feeling really bad-go to Er. They can at least give you some meds to help for now. I urge you, if you don't have psych md to get one-they are most uptodate with latest meds. Many people don't get "it/us" because it is not physical disease that they see...my husband never really got it...hang in there because people here get it! I was dx depression 16yrs ago, then 1-2yrs later moid disorder, then borderline bipolar. I was on very minimal meds until major event this yr brought it all back, and I'm back in therapy...it helps, don't be afraid to use these tools to help. Bring your husband to psych md, they can explain the brain chemicals/how meds regulate them...may help his logical side understand...can you do something to disteact you-take warm bath, read, watch tv, exercise, journal, play games on computer, craftsdo breathing/counting exercises...hang in there
