Depend on your Pdoc T and here or other bipolar friends you have made elsewhere.
There is no reason to just keep banging your head into a wall.
As for your husband not understanding your taking meds, just take them when he’s not looking , although your married your still able to make medical decisions for yourself. You know what you need to do to try and find stability.
Yes it all sucks but you have no choice but to deal with your proper self care  |
I wish I had friends even but I don't. The T is challenging me to find a NAMI group and attend. Pretty sure there is one that meets in the next town over and not that far from my house. But part of me is like what's the point of going, we're planning to move soon? Though I know very well the moving process will not be fast and it will definitely be stressful. I'm already stressed and we've just met with the realtor once and looked at some houses.
I definitely do make my own medical decisions so long as I can. Couldn't during perforated ulcer surgery, so H had to but that was different. As far as psych treatment, yes, since I can't even talk to him about bipolar or get him to read a webpage article on it, it's definitely something I decide myself.
