To fake it or not ..... what I have found that works the best for me and the people around me is to fake things, I can’t do it day in and day out of course. But many times while I’m faking it I can feel a flutter in me that reminds me I can be stable and enjoy life, it just takes the right combo of things, meds, T, selfcare etc.
Would your wife consider couples counseling? A safe place you can hash things out and come up with a game plan on how you both can find happiness together even if Bipolar is tearing its ugly head ? This doesn’t mean you have to cow down, it’s a marriage a partnership. Both people have to work on themselves too.

Always good practical advice Christina!
My pdoc is really conservative and she's been trying different meds during this time. Wellbutrin seems promising at the moment. Hopefully I'll see the end of this soon.
As for counseling, that's not in the cards. My wife doesn't believe in it. She used to be critical of me when I had a T, so there's no way that'll happen with her. We discussed it before and it wasn't happening then either.
Maybe I'll get out of this depression soon and no longer have to fake my way through stuff.
