thanks for your reply ~ sorry your husband has this also..hard to deal with at times i can imagine.
i am more in the mania side right now but have times where my heart sinks and i have to really fight off depression! I manage to bring my mood up by using mindfulness skills - living in the moment. seems to help pick me up. The mania is being controlled with klonopin - helps so much! sometimes i dont like it because it slows me down sometimes..especially after my second dose of the day. i dont like the feeling of being slowed down at all !
Good luck to your husband
