I joined this website yesterday and I'm learning how to use it ! Very confusing. My BD hubby on lamictal fopr BD and Vyvanse for ADHD. He currently is in a hypomanic state (disappears for hours, smokes pot and buys crazy and unnessary items and I'm a teacher on a TIGHT summer budget). He is scaring me and as soon as he walks out the door, I fear he's doing "bad" stuff. How can I get past the lack of trust issue?

Welcome to the site. I am new too so I don't feel I can give you much advice except to know you are not alone and have found a place to speak freely. The speaking freely is a great help to me and I hope will be to you also.

Take care of yourself.

Thanks for the note...I am here for you if/when you need it too...my H still on a roller coaster ride...I have gotten much better just listening to him and not responding because he does not make a lot of sense so I know it's the illness (he's ADHD and bipolar-recently diagnosed).

welcome to pc. it's not recomended for those meds to be taken if using pot, etc. they counteract the helpful meds. as for trusting him...well you can't if he's doing both... it sounds like he needs to see his doc. can you suggest this to him? he's self-medicating with the weed.
