I think it’s easy to overload of spouses , I know I did when first diagnosed age 43.

I was able to see a therapist through a sliding scale at my county’s mental health clinic, most every county has one.

Anyway I stopped unloading on my husband. Could my husband understand my Bipolar? Hell no . I also found PC and was able to get support from others that are dealing with the same.

Now ? I tell my husband if I’m just not doing well but I don’t allow Bipolar to take over my marriage any more than it really has too.

You will find a lot of support on all kinds of forums that fit your needs.

Good wishes
