Bipolar makes me “miserable” and “exhausting”
I’m 48F. I’ve been with my husband for 15 years, and I wasn’t diagnosed bipolar until an acute mixed episode in April of 2024. I never resisted the diagnosis, treatment or meds. I’ve been doing intensive DBT for a year now. I have a lot to learn but I’ve made significant progress in that time. He already has so much contempt for me. He’s so angry at me. I feel like I’m losing him. No progress is enough.
