Hello all! I'm new here but felt I needed a place to bounce some ideas around. Well about a year ago my husband had a breakdown -voices, hallucinations on top of being seriously depressed. I had a feeling he was bi-polar because I could almost set a calendar to when he would be going into the deep depression. I feel that his drinking drove him crazy...he would lie and sneak fifths of vodka drinking all day. Then after doing this for a month or so(maybe longer for all I know) the break came. Well he was put on medications : Seroquel, Celexa, Inderal. Things were kinda ok but he would still go on these binges every other month or so. Well about a month ago he went on a binge I called him out on it and he started cutting himself. I wanted to admit him but by the time I was able to get the phone from him he had passed out. Well we went to dr a few days later and they switched up his meds. Downed the inderal, cut most of the Seroquel and switched to saphris. I just counted his meds and he's not taking the celexa like he should and he hates the movement Saphris causes so he's not taking that like he should. When I approach him he just yells and says I'm being to nosy - he's a grown man I should leave him alone. My main issue is I just found a something of a will in a notebook we keep around and google searches for wanting to watch someone die. I don't know how to handle this. He won't do therapy - I pretty much have to hound him to go to a weeky group once a month but he eventually goes. I just dont' know how much longer I can do this...I feel so alone and starting to be afraid. I hope someone out there has / is going thru something similar and can offer some support. Thanks for your time and reading my thread!
Hugs from:

I'm so sorry you're going through this. You can't force him to do it...he has to want to feel better. It sucks, but it's true. I've been through it with my husband. I would personally call a helpline next time or 911 and have him taken to the ER. Also, have you thought of contacting his parents/other family that he is close to? It's a fine line, I realize. I know how easy it is to set him off by making the wrong move. Here if you ever want to chat. Good luck!
