I have never expected my H to be 100% stable, nor do I think I'd want that to tell the truth, I fell in love with the man he is & the cycles are part of him.
I just want this a/d-triggered episode to end. But I fear we're further away than I thought. No, he's not talking to the OW (so far), I've been checking his cell phone log, but he seems to be slipping into mania again or something strange - perhaps the depression I hear about after the mania. He is crying a lot. Tonight he got mean. He says he feels like he's feeling every emotion except happiness.
His psychiatric nurse says she will not treat him unless he checks himself into the hospital now. His addictive councelor called today & also tried to get him to check himself in.
The problem is, after spending time in the psych ward (everyon here just refers to it has the 5th floor instead of saying psych ward) with the OW he is really freaked out by the place & is more insistant of not checking himself in than ever before.
Feel like we took a giant leap forward & just fell down :-(
I thought we were really getting somewhere now.

Oh Bonnie, I'm sorry to hear things aren't going well right now. It is so hard sometimes dealing with a MI. I hope your H can into the hospital and get on the right meds. Perhaps he needs an antidepressant right away. My DH was started on an AD right away along with a antipsycotic. I think the AD started to help him well before the six weeks it says it takes to work. Once he gets on the right meds. I'm sure things will start to turn around for the better.
Hang in there, and please let me know how you are doing.
