Spouse of bipolar partner
Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support / by Chuck622
Last post
 August 27th, 2024
...See more My spouse of 10 years suffers from bipolar, severe PTSD trauma and as a result, horrible depression.  I feel like Atlas but starting to crack. I'm one of the only people they have in their lives as support.  I feel helpless, nothing I say or do helps. The up swings are a nice break but it doesn't last and I know what follows. I'm exhausted. It's like groundhog day and I feel like a shell of myself that's become a venting "punching bag".  I've never reached out before and taken this all on myself. Brief counseling didn't take. I know there has to be others out there that don't want to give up on their partner or their relationship and give into the sickness.
