My husband hasn't yet been diagnosed with bipolar... I suspect that he does have it and he has been to a few psychologists but hasn't stayed with anyone long enough to get a diagnosis. He just went to two this past week, one who has suggested he may have bipolar but doesn't yet know enough about him.
My husband has a lot of mood swings and I am really having trouble dealing with them. Nothing I say helps so I try to just not talk. That usually makes him more mad, but I don't know what else to do. The last few weeks have been absolutely HORRIBLE. He decided one day that he was going out the next day to buy a new house because he no longer likes our house. I try to talk him out of this .... because obviously that is not a good plan! He has started saying a lot of times that if I don't do what he wants (buy a new house RIGHT NOW) he is going to file for divorce.
Just before the house thing he decided that we NEEDED a home security system and went out and spent over $100 on video cameras and a do it yourself security system and gun. He has been having a lot of spontaneous shopping sprees lately. After he spends all this money on whatever he has decided is a must he will then tell me I can't buy things like groceries.
My husband is very paranoid. He always thinks that someone is out to get him. He talks about thinking that the government spies on him, taps his phones, so on. He says he can't trust anyone, including me. He is very against taking medications. He's afraid of what is in food, he is a big time food label reader. Everything causes cancer. Over the last two years I have taken him to at least 10 different doctors because he thinks something is wrong with him, that he will die within 5 years. He says even if they do find something, he will take no medication for it.
Over the last few weeks, he had been mentioning his thoughts of suicide a little more often. Until recently, I never thought that these moods he got into were more than anxiety or drama. He likes a lot of attention, but when I really start putting everything together I see it as more. I started talking to him about how serious thoughts of suicide are, that I was worried about him, and thought he needed to see someone. He has been very angry at me for this but is slowly coming around to seeing someone but I don't know how to get him on medication and to continue going. He has taken very few medications in the 6 years we have been together. He doesn't even take Tylenol for headaches or anything. Recently he did taken Ativan because he was terrified of going to the dentist but had to go (root canal).
We have a 3 year old daughter together and lately he has been scaring her a lot with him yelling and throwing things. It really needs to get better, but I don't know what to do.
Any advice would be so helpful! Thank you.
I found out that it could be the balance in the ph levels . If the ph level in the body is high then you are angry and if you are depressed it is because it is low. You can fix this by making a drink of 2 tbs apple cider vinegar and 6 oz water with honey to taste . It seems to help my hubby and it actually doesn't taste too bad.
