Hi timftz

Welcome to psych central.

I see your situation and it seems very familiar to me although I was the one in your wife's situation.

It was very similar, but with differences I'm sure.

I had my son...born with a lot of problems, I went into a postpartum depression. Then into a major depression. I was mis diagnosed however for having bi polar and aggressively treated.

I had to give my mom my son for 2 years.

My husband basically took care of me for almost 3years. It took a major toll. I wanted to get better though. Truly.

I was committed 3x. Finally i was taken off a ton of meds ...and was correctly diagnosed w/bpd, which is similar to bipolar. and with severe major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder.

Basically it took a major toll on our marriage. We had to go through a lot of therapy.

I'm sure this is exhausting and very difficult for you. I know what it's like to be in your wifes shoes...and actually in yours. I'm not gonna go on though with this story.

I just wanted to say I understand some of what your going through. I really hope this site can be of some help to you.

The people here are very supportive and helpful.

Good luck and if I can help in anyway...I'd love to..it's great therapy for me.

Take care
Eva
