PleaseTake a moment to find out how you can restore hope about your future. Discover all the answers youve been searching for about how to love and help a bipolar husband, bipolar wife or bipolar partner
Dear Friend and Fellow Spouse of a Bipolar Partner,
Finally, Theres A Bipolar Book for Stressed-Out Spouses
IA™m Elizabeth Atlas, author of the new book, AœMarried To Mania: Jumping the Shark* Without a Seatbelt.A ItA™s a funny title for a topic that is far from funnyheartbreaking, in fact.
This book is about how to find your footing with a bipolar husband or bipolar wife and preserve your sanity in a marriage or relationship thatA™s built on quicksand. Your bipolar husband or bipolar wife may make you feel that everyday is a new dawn. Deep down you know nothing in your past has prepared you for what will happen in your bipolar marriage today, tomorrow or next year.
Its a given: You love your bipolar wife or bipolar husband very much. Bipolar is not one of the top 10 adjectives you use to describe the love-of-your-life to other people. Bipolar Disorder may not even be in the top 100!
But if youre like me, bipolar disorder is on your mind all the time. Your bipolar radar flashes when you second guess your bipolar husbands financial decision making. Your bipolar radar arms when your bipolar wife drowns you in love and affectionbecause you know, very soon, youll be hunkered down protecting yourself from a painful verbal assault and threats of divorce.
Many times I diagnosed my own condition as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). But it wasnt Post. It is ongoing. So I decided to stop the madness on my part and learn how to fish or cut bait.
I learned how to handle my problem of how to be married to a bipolar husband. Then I wrote a book to help other husbands, wives and partners, married to Bipolar Disorder (yes, it does seem that way most of the time!), who are caught in the same love/chaos/trauma drama I was in.
This is the book youll read when youA™ve already read
the hundreds of other websites, books and newsletters,
attended all the bipolar support groups and workshops and
exhausted the patience of your friends and family
and you still donA™t have answers for YOU
about the best way to be married to a bipolar husband or a bipolar wife.
Let me Repeat: The chaos in your relationship is not your fault.
When you love a bipolar husband or bipolar wife, your relationship is not on a level playing field with other loving relationships or marriages youve admired.
The relationship problem-solving skills that you learned from your relationship role models: your parents, your friendseven TV couples like Lucy and Ricky dont work in your marriage. Those relationshipsyes, even the fantasy TV storylines (!)will never have the same roadblocks and heartaches that you tackle every single day of your life with a bipolar husband or bipolar wife.
How much do you REALLY know about Marriage To a Bipolar Spouseb
Even if youve read a few books, surfed online and gone to a few support groups, you are no match for your bipolar husband or bipolar wife. In fact, you are at a tremendous disadvantage.
You Are in Bipolar Psychology Kindergarten
Your bipolar husband or bipolar wife has a PhD in Bipolar Disorder. This degree may not help him find a cure or steer him toward acceptance of his illness, but hes been through a lifetime of mental machinations that you will never understand or keep pace with. Its downright exhausting!

On How To Take Care of You
When Youre Married To a Bipolar Husband or Bipolar Wife!
My Story
My husband was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at age 40, one year before I met him. (Hes now 55.) Prior to that, I had never known anyone with mental illness (who goes around talking about itb) and there was no evidence of it in my family (did you know theres a genetic componentb)
I spent 3 years in denial, 5 years in therapy, 7 years in intense research to figure this illness out and 13 years doubting myself and beating myself up, knowing that if I could be a better wife, then You fill in the blank.
If youre like me, you probably already have. Despite mountains of reading, exhaustive web searches, many support groups and discussions with my husband, I always felt terribly alone in my struggle.
Where were the other husbands and wives of Bipolar spousesbbb I never met any. I never read about them. There were only 2 or 3 in my support groups. And they werent interested in forming a band of brothers. I felt totally isolated and helpless.
Albert Einstein said, The definition of insanity

April 21, 2011 at 4:02 am I have been married to my Bi-Polar husband for almost 17 years and it has been in the last 2 years that I have exasperated myself and given up to the point that I just dont care about him. I have been abused physically and mentally, left and come back, lost my family because of him, his thinks Im great. Im now 62 aand he is almost 50 and my health is totally failing with so many medical diagnosis but he shows no sense of caring. He sleeps 20 hours a day and the doctor doesnt seem to worry. I feel like I am in a sinking liferaft(he weighs 356lbs) trying to bail out the water with a spoon and just dont know whether to dive into the water or just drown. Those are my thoughts and would love your book but both of us survive on SSD and cant afford even all my RXI make sure I get his though. Just wanted you to know you sound like your book will help many.

June 7, 2011 at 12:15 am Sure wish I had the money to order this I am at my wits end, I love and hate my bipolar husband, have lost all my family do to his addictions and swings, He also has issues with spending money as soon as he gets it. Divorce is nearly impossible as I have no way to provide for myself and three kids, one with autism.

June 7, 2011 at 9:16 am Melissa, I know that feeling well, unfortunately. Try making a list of all the things you can do. It sounds like youve been in your marriage awhile, so theres no quick fix for getting to a happy placeno matter if you won the lottery tomorrow (ie., hell still be the father of your children). Once you have your list, put a timeline to it. In other words, how long will each item take you to dob Then see which ones you can start on now. Even if you dont totally resolve all your problems, youll feel better because youll feel like you have some control of your situation. Good luck! Elizabeth

December 29, 2011 at 8:20 pm I have been married to my husband for 13 years and lived with him for 5 years before we were married. My husband had several affairs and left me and my children 3 times while we were together also he would get drunk and because he would become mean I would tell him not to drink. He would want to fight and when I would try to keep him from drinking he would get into the car and go buy more to drink. Being married I went with him to his home state right before he retired and right before katrina hit he told me he was leaving us because his family got him to do it. My child and I became homeless and I was embrassed to let my family know so I stayed in a shelter and endure things I could have never imagined would happen. I dont drink, smoke, do drugs look at pornography but because of all the abuse over the years I have alot of anxiety stress and some anger due to the things Ive endured. Why cant some of these problems be due to hormonal problems and the above I gave and not bi polar. People are quick to make people out to be sick or crazy my husband and my 2 children tell me I have a problem other than the natural problems that come with the economy, debt, community and surroundings and mainly my spouse over the years. Not everyone is bi-polar stop drugging people up and dulling them instead of understanding and listening to why they feel or act they way they do. Maybe some serious family or marriage counseling to find out the cause instead of covering up the symtoms with drugs or label someone that is not crazy or sick but just mentally stressed. Even the strongest people have their weakest points in time. Everyone in Hollywood is addicted to prescription drugs that is the way they cope with their crazy life but in the end those drugs will killed them and even the strongest minds in hollywood have and do go crazy from alchol and drugs.

March 24, 2012 at 10:40 am I am the one who suffers from this awlful illness they call BiPolar. I remember being 5 years old knealing on the kitchen floor with my mom holding me while she cry uncontrolably while my dad leaving for good and the back door slamming. Wow! What that does to a child. My mom had me and my brother in her teens. My dad would make promises to come and see us, so we would wait by the window and sometimes he would come and others nothing! I felt disappointment, confusion, dispair. What was wrong with me. My parents were good parents. They worked hard. Taught us to be nice, accept others, look past the wrongs that they did unto others. My mom remarried a man with two girls and he eventually adopted us. He drank, his ex caused lots chaos and she would tell her two daughters to act up when they came to our house ( I felt bad for my little step sister), his business put my mom in debt, he treated my brother like idk just no time or loving. It all sucked! Yeah there were good times. We had a cute little house that my mom made into a loving home the best that she could. I remember I was always on an up and down emotional roller-coster. Never knowing what was going to happenin when I got home. If it was gonna be a calm night or yelling. Was I gonna have to be the one to calm my dad while my mom emotionally shut down. Would I have to be the one who sat in my brother room after he had been screamed at by my dad or hit and sit by his bed and talk to him for hours while he said nothing just to let him know someone cared. School was so hard for me. I felt stupid there. I was so quiet, shy and too scared to ever ask for help. I would sometimes just sit there and so many times my notebooks were made of my daily lists of what I was going to do when i got home. I would label the top of the page then list -homework-dust-vacuum-peel carrots etc. You get the picture. I guess I needed stability and among all the chaos in my life and my head I found it in lists and organizing. I found that when I did those 2 things I could feel and function better. I guess that was my way of surviving for many years.
At 15, I met a boy and fell madly in love well I thought.He was a nice person and had his own issues as we all do and in his own childhood there was not much love shown there. I had no self esteem. At 20 got pregnant with him and had a little girl. He had cheated on me a few times before and I on him once cause I was hurt that he had done it to me not because I was on a bipolar high. Even knowing that he had cheated I still stayed cause I felt I deserved no better. I finally left and moved back home now parents are divorcing finally. At 21 due to so much stress and on Good Friday the darkess day of the year some say I tried to commit suicide. It was one turning point in my life on my road to many of lifes lessons.
I thank GOD everyday that I survived.
I wish I could of seen and felt back then as a small child that I was special.
Ive been married for 14years now to a man who I know loves me but he has been the one who has been bringing out my illness. I finally realized that after searching and wondering what was wrong with me. Why am I not good enough for anyone. I cant make anyone happy. How come no one hears ME. He keeps telling me to tell him what I need and it falls on deaf ears. He is a workaholic! The only way he pays attention is if he takes me away to some vacation or out to dinner. Everything is always on his terms. Everyone feels love in a different way. He feels love by spending time with me. I feel loved when I am heard or when projects that were started get done. I have supported him when he chose to quit his job and started his business and now another business. I trusted him. We have 3 children. A son with ADD,anxiety Oppositional Definant. A daughter with ADHD,anxiety and Oppositional and auditory processing issues. Our oldest daughter with a weight issue. Not once has he picked up a book, suggested going to support groups, gone to the gym, followed thru on plans. I the BIPOLAR MOTHER have had to search countless books, websites, doctors and I have tried so many different things and have changed myself so many different times that the stress and the chaos of the arguing has triggered the ups and downs so many times I cant even count.
I just thank GOD that he has been the stronger one in all of this because in this thing we call life of BiPolar Illiness I have found GOD, strength, faith, that its not my fault, Im not a failure, I am somebody, that the choices we make do have to be thought out, Im a good mom, this journey has taught me so very much and I understand why I had to go thru all that i did and it has made me a better person, always go thru life with youe eyes wide open, cherish the little things. Just because someone is Bipolar does not mean they are incapable. Its funny how I am the bipolar one in this marriage and I am the one for the past 15yrs that has been doing the searching to make it better and I hope he is ready to finally be my support system that he says.

March 29, 2012 at 6:28 pm Lisa, I acknowledge your pain over so many years. But you keep trying and learning, and thats what counts. We only feel worthless when we dont have purpose in our life. Sounds like your bipolar allows you to be very high functioning to take care of your family. Youre lucky. One insight I can give you is that often someone with bipolar is able to process their surroundings and situations about 10X faster than the rest of us well people. You may be interpreting that as a lack of attention to you. I know sometimes I had to walk away or go away because my husband would just overwhelm me with his stream of ideas and thoughts. My poor ole brain couldnt handle so much input. We all have *things.*

March 24, 2012 at 11:01 pm Oh, this sounds so familiar. I am married to a BiPolar man (forty years). The illness runs in his family, although he is the only one diagnosed correctly. My husband initially, when diagnosed, was taking his medication correctly, seeing his counselor and psychiatrist regularly, and we seemed to be making progress. However, it seems lately that everything is going wrong. Our children and other family are not supportive and my husband has chased away most family and many friends, leaving me without a support network. I have stood by him and until recently, been happy to do so. However, I have become tired of giving and now seeing my husband excuse his behaviors as beyond his control. He can be very charming for others, but take everything out on me. I just cannot do this all alone. It is really exhausting to be blamed, attacked, alone, and so tired all the time. I have tried having my own counselor, but it is very difficult to disclose the ups and downs of my days and then go back and face them after the emotional impact of talking about how difficult they are. I need happiness and friends and I so miss that guy I married. I know he will never return as he was; that he is somewhere in my husband, but I feel I am losing ME. I do not like who I am becoming. I am upset my family has left me to deal with such a large burden all alone, and yet, who could blame themb
