Since coming off my meds, I have been able to feel my true emotions. They used to be trapped in a cloud of numbing chemicals, but now they are real and raw.

I am having a hard time in my marriage. I am unhappy and unfulfilled. I am not being loved the way I deserve to be. I am being held onto because I am habit. I am not sure if being alone would be better. Likely it would be the same. Ending the marriage would be complicated and would create a new set of problems. I am trapped and sad. Real feeling is so much more painful than medicated bipolar fog. Should I be thankful?

I admire that you are able to cope after coming of meds. I've tried before and it is not a consideration anymore. My depression goes too deep.

If I were you before deciding anything about your marriage I would talk with a counselor. Your new state without meds could be to raw to trust. I think you need an impartial person to help you through these feelings.
