How do i deel with my bi polar husband?

ignore his mood swings

attend support groups for yourself

encourage him to take his meds

keep communication lines open

Very difficult illness to deal with, I'm afraid. The key is education. If you haven't already read it, get a copy of the Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide, and maybe Loving Someone With Bipolar Disorder, though I found the latter a bit cheesy (Amazon links below).

You should also visit the Bipolar Significant Others site: http://www.bpso.org/ and take a look at http://www.crazyboards.org/ and http://z9.invisionfree.com/Bipolar_Haven both of which have relationship sections.

FWIW, I've been bipolar for a good 25 years and married for 20, so it is possible to deal with it.

I give you alot a credit it is not easy to handle I would say go to a group with him or some times they offer groups at hosptials for the family members they really help. remember you can love some but you can not change them be understanding and loving but most of make sure they take their meds and if they are in need of some seek help

Good luck you are a special person for caring and trying to help best of luck

by the way do not listen to rude people like the bossylady she is rude hold you head high you are doing the right thing good for you

There is a lot of support info out there for you. I Googled up a page with a bunch of links to sites that feature info that may help you. Best wishes in dealing with his illness.

If you learn how to spell things, like the word deal (or at least learn spell check), or you learn punctuation (like the appropriate placement of question marks), I'm sure that you will also acquire the education it takes to know that your husband probably wants an excuse to be moody. If this were not the case and you were dealing with a true bi-polar, you would have had to already be in touch with a psychologist who would be taking care of your emotional needs. If you are not, then there is no true diagnosis of bi-polar disorder.

P.S. Nards Pogi, this is a chronic illness. It only takes on a "cured" state while the sufferer is on his/her meds. No matter how long he/she took his/her meds, if he/she stops taking them at any point in his/her life, then he/she will slip back into his/her old patterns.

Bipolar is a curable illness. Bring your husband to a psychiatrist who will prescribed the right medicine for him. The doctor will also advise the family how to deal with the situation.
