Based on this post, I would like to ask you if you have discussed the issue with your husband. Has he explained why he has suddenly started to micro manage you? What is his take on it?
Also, what is causing this reaction in you? How are you perceiving his actions? What do they mean to you? Have you explained to him (calmly) how his actions are affecting you?
I am not aware if you have posted earlier about this. If you find my questions irrelevant please feel free to ignore them. I hope your problem soon finds a successful resolution.

That's as good of a description as any.
We've discussed it. He hasn't been taking it seriously. I did get his attention last weekend, a little. He started laughing about one incident and I told him that I was very happy that he can laugh about something that makes me miserable. For once he shut up.
He just thinks I get overly upset about things he considers trivial and feels like he has to walk on eggshells. I hate that he feels that way.
My diagnoses reads like alphabet soup, but the worst ones are my bipolar 1 with TRD (treatment resistant depression) and CPTSD. My reactions are caused by my CPTSD and if I am even the slightest bit depressed, I just go right off the deep end. If my emotions get too extreme, I tend to dissociate.
