We had a argument last night about me taking my meds and them not working and all of the treatment I go for, well lets just say the night ended with hurtful words and all of my pills being thrown out. Apparently I can control my bipolar and depression and cutting according to her. Easier said than done, she doesn't have to live like this. I know she is tired of putting up with my emotions, yes a while back about 5 yrs ago I had stop all my meds and I did fine for like 2 yrs then it came back full force not to mention when I do not take meds my SIing becomes worse because that is the only thing that I have to relieve my pain and tension. Any suggestions?? I am totally lost

I would retrieve the pills if you can; that's a lot of money to throw out and I would talk to your doctor and therapist, maybe take your partner along to be part of it. No matter what, precipitous throwing out of meds instead of weaning off is not good for one's health, can be dangerous.

Sure am not happy to hear that someone who you chose to care about isn't caring about you. What to do-agrument about meds with partner Yes, the first thing to do is recover or replace the meds... contact your pharmacist and have them contact the doctor, if you don't think you can (call the doctor) for yourself.

You SO needs to hear about your needs from a third party, is she isn't bothering to believe you. If she won't go to therapy with you (planned with your T) then she probably isn't going to listen to anyone, and isn't helping you at all.
If that should be the case, I would suggest a short separation to give you time to get back on track, and to remove the extra stress from a relationship.

You have to advocate for yourself in this, get back on the meds first, then discuss with your T what your other options really are.

Do you feel like you need the outside help and meds? Is your relationship with your partner contingent on whether or not you seek help? I guess these are questions you have to ask yourself.

Good luck!
