I am so very devastated. I have been newly diagnosed bipolar and just found out my husband slept with a coworker of his. How am I supposed to concentrate on getting better? Let me also tell you that my mother has stage 4 breast cancer and couldn't get herself out of bed today. And by the way, I am only 33. I am new to staying at home to raise our 3 kids. Now what? I am supposed to be the crazy one...this is too much!

(((Tawny))) - I can certainly understand how devastated you must feel. This is also for you to handle. I'm sorry you're in such pain right now and I'll pray God gives you the strength to handle all of this.

The term, 'crazy..' is just not helpful,,please do not refer to yourself or anyone else on this site in this way, we are perhaps the most special and unique and kind people out there because of our sensitivities, and that includes you...a lot of help and beautiful things happen here at PC because of our willingness to reach out, to make the most of our illnesses....

you need to sit down and talk with him to see why he done this, doing something rash could have a devastating effect on the family more than it has already.
there isnt any excuse for his behaviour but you need the facts before you make a desision regarding this.
for him to put this pressure on you when you are obviously in a dark place isnt fair at all.
i hope you sort this out.
take care
Thanks for this!

You're not crazy. The definition of madness is doing the same thing expecting a different result. I see you trying to do things differently which is the opposite. I'm sorry your husband was a jerk and your mother has cancer. That is a lot to deal with at one time. Being bipolar does not make you crazy. Its a chemical imbalance in your brain that you cannot control. Are you seeing a T? Remember we are always here for you!
Thanks for this!
