It took me a long time to finally accept my diagnosis. Once I finally agreed that there was something wrong, and chose to seek help, then the reality of the diagnosis, and prognosis, hit hard.

After losing a couple of jobs and running a small business into the ground (actually it never quite took off) because of my mood swings I have finally accepted that I need to change my life to suit this illness. That's another tough decision to make.

I'm sorry but you may have a long road ahead of you, however, there's one thing for sure, you're hubby is going to need all the love and support he can get. But don't forget that you need support as well - there's lot's available for caregivers and families.
