I don't know what to do

I am bipolar, been posting here off and on. I am crushed.

My wife has been having an affair with a guy she knew in high school.They met up again on facebook.

She left to go on vacation with this guy, I don't know where. As a tantrum I quit my meds. I have not slept in two days or eaten in three. I need to find a place to keep my dog so I can go to the hospital.

All I can do is weep. The SPCA will keep my dog, but only for 5 days. I'm not sure how long I'll be at the hospital.

This is the worst. I hate it all. But I will get better. She is not going to win.

I'm genuinely sorry this is happening to you, Capninhapnin. Oftentimes, it's the spouse of the bipolar patient who has all the personal troubles that escalate the illness for the bipolar patient. It's good that you are going to be able to get away for a while and have some peace around you. That will do more than anything, probably, to help you recover.

Try not to think about her. She has made her mistakes, and you deserve a better person in your life. Give it time before you make any major decisions.

It's time for you now to have a better life with more stability. Let the physicians get your chemsitry back in line for you , and try to rest. Those two things bring more peace than anything I know.

Take care and keep posting as you wish.

I'm hoping you'll be in good shape soon and am saying a prayer for you, too.

It's Genetic

Hi Capninhapnin! I only read your post now and my heart goes out to you. All I can do is keep you in my prayers. I can imagine what hell you must be going through. Its good that you are going to hospital. You are probably there already. That will be your first step to getting better and feeling stronger to go through this. Remember you are not alone, we are all your friends. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping that your wife will come to her senses. Take care friend!
