It took a few years and an inpatient stay to figure out that the meds on the opposite end of the spectrum work well for me. Brain chemistry is difficult and so individual. It's hard to watch a loved one go through this, but hopefully the key to things getting better is a matter of finding the correct med combo and that happens soon.

I'm sorry your husband isn't supportive. My family is very unsupportive about Mi stuff--they just choose to remain ignorant, and I have chosen to let them. Is there anyone else who can give you support?
Oh Ruari,

I desperately hope so. I hope that by being in one place that's safe will allow the therapists to figure out what is going on and figure out how to best stabilize him.

I emailed my T. He offered to call but I said the email response was enough. And I popped a clonazepam to take the edge off.

I hate that he hurts. It rips me apart. Helpless.
