Anyone else get this?

[bshaw96]

My moods have been all over the map for as long as I can remember. I get mad/cry at the drop of a hat. I was officially diagnosed as bipolar last week, and now every time I have a LEGITIMATE concern/complaint, my hubby likes to put it all off on my BP. It just infuriates me to no end. Yes, Im out of control at times, but darn it sometimes it's him . Not everything he does that upsets me means I need to go take a pill!

Dear Bshaw96

LOL , join the crowd cause now your a full fledged member!



I hope your not just taking pills when you want to.



This is something we all have to deal with. You never know sometimes they might be right!!



But then other times their not. They got us over a barrel. I hope you got a lovin husband.



Remember he has to bear a lot to live with a bipolar so forgive him and just stand your ground if your right.



I hope for all's sake you get regulated on meds as soon as possible because it sure sounds like your not.



Don't get to upset about things and let them pass if you can.



The next time you do something he doesn't like, you might remind him your JUST a bipolar maybe I need to go take a pill. LOL

Amen Sister!! Yes , I find this a common complaint among all my friends with bp. My hubby thinks it's all me at times, but of the two of us I am the most internally aware and do more processing and he (my hubby) does the most blame shifting and denying. It's weird because he says that I am the "crazy" one, but I have far healthier coping skills and am far more realistic than he is.

I have a WONDERFUL loving hubby. No one else would have put up with me this long. I take my med every day, but Ive only been on it a week. Im on Lamictal and it starts out at such a low dose doc says it won't be to a therapeutic level for weeks. I really am trying to be patient. He certainly has. I am the first to admit I over react ALOT, but now it's as if he NEVER does anything wrong. It's all just my emotions all out of whack. I suppose I'll never be able to have an honest cry ever again, sigh.

Yeah my typos blow me away sometimes due to the tremors in my hands from my meds. No offense taken. If you watch most of my posts get edited due to this, but it comes and goes with this med, othermeds have made life impossbile with tremors!!!

LOL!

 

[meh]

Oh, yeah. I'm not married but I get that reaction from my mom a lot. She gets a look on her face that says, "I'll remain calm for her, because obviously she's having a breakdown." It's very sweet, but I do have to remind her that sometimes I'm just sad- like "normal" people get sad. Or frustrated- like "normal" people get frustrated.

Dear Alive again

There I go again being a smuck! Sorry to hear about the cause.


I do things myself that I have to laugh at. Thought this might be the same.





I have read some of your post and I must say you have TRUTH, WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING on your side and you do it with LOVE.


A smuck knows a smuck and I'm a smuck!


UNDER THE LOVE OF JESUS IT'S NOT HARD TO REMEMBER

I was really laughing also. Sometimes in life, we gotta laugh or the only choice we have leftis to cry, and I've done enough of that, so I mcuh prefer laughing!!! I enjoyed laughing with you!!! Maybe I beter just cut back on the caffeine some too!!!

Blessings on your day, and please never say something like that about yourself on my account!!!

You need to find some music that is soothing and listen to that if you can. I have lashed out a lot too at people who love me and my best friend was patient and kind enough to give me some music to calm me. It makes a difference.

And YES i make a complete idiot out of myself too but I am a single mom so I have had to really learn how to cope and keep control ...prayers, EXERCISE ( i can not emphasize this enough) and music.

AND of course plenty of rest. That way when you feel like you are gonna attack someone you can go walk for a bit or put some calm music on your ears.

you are welcome to PM me if you want some links for some good music on the web

bshaw,
I couldn't agree with you more!! My husband can not and will not put anything kind of blame on himself, It's always " The BP " But, When I am out of control crying and really need him, he acts like I'm faking and it's all some kind of joke. Do you get that too??
GOD BLESS!!

Yep, that's me. I really do recognize that at times Im out of control. Sometimes I realize it right in the middle of it, sometimes not until after Im cried out or screamed out. But there are times, many times, when Im legitimately upset that he just looks at me like Im in a "BP fit". And there are times when Im having a down day, or just need him, and it's like he's tuned me out and is just "waiting" for my need (or mood in his mind) to pass. I am so worried I'll never get taken seriously again. I try to put myself in his shoes, living with my swinging moods for 12 years, sometimes that helps. But sometimes he makes it worse. I may start out in a crying kind of mood, and maybe just need a hug or something. Then his "non-challant" attitude will get me madder than fire. No, Im not blaming him, but sometimes he does trigger my episodes. Im hoping after I get more stabalized on my meds, I can get him to go to a couple of therapy sessions with me, maybe it'll help him understand a little more. Until then,about the only support or understanding Im getting is on this board, which is a God send!!!

I actually got a chuckle from this.
Sorry.
My ex wife did the same thing and refused to accept that I even had BP.
2 years after my diagnosis, She was my EX wife.
She now sees how wrong she was in not accepting things.
I get frustrated myself quite often and my wife tells me I need to go take a walk or something. Take a break and get away from it for a bit.
My frustration comes from not being able to work and being on disability for my back. I used to be very active, I worked close to 100 hours a week at 2 jobs and running a farm.
I can't lift more than 15 lbs now.
