How do I live with a Bi-Polar wife??

U must first remove all sugars and fried foods from ur home now! NO soda, alcohol drink only pure water and natural fruit juices. No coffee, or caffenated tea. Next search for items that contain gmos. If they dont state gmo free assume that they must be. Severly cut back meat and dairy products, they can be mood swingers. After these changes notice any changes, I know the sugar intake can really start the rollercoaster of mood swinging!

See yourself for what you are: an exhausted caregiver. Underneath this illness is the lovely girl you fell in love with.

If your wife had cancer, you'd receive lots of sympathy and support for all you do. Since society has a vested interest in creating and not curing mental illness, you have no support and endure stigma-- as does your wife. If she is being a beach it is because her neurons are misfiring, or she is justly angry about the life she's been dealt in a society where it's fair game to ruin a person's self-esteem because of some witch doctor's diagnosis.

While you may not be able to "fix" this (and men are fixers so this is really hard), you can fix a lot of things if you strategize and break down the problem.

Build a spreadsheet where you break down different aspects of the problem and create measurable goals.

Build your support system from scratch. If she's quite sick, think about whether a visiting nurse or home health aide for respite care 2 days a month would give you time off and help your wife. You'd do it for Alzheimer's; so do it here. It's a very difficult illness for both of you.

Try sitting down with your wife and asking her what she needs. Then build your own program for working on the different problems. You'd do this if you had an autistic child. A "bipolar" wife is no different.

The more her self-esteem can improve, the better she will get.

You need to take time for YOU. Same as if you had a medically fragile child. That's the biggest thing to fix.

Do not let her abuse you. The credit card rage was because she's manic (excessive spending is a typical manic stress relief thing). Take it away. Make her do her spending binges at the dollar store. Make sure your kids are being taken care of. Do not let her vent on the kids. You're going to have to be tough. Bipolar shmipolar... she can control herself and needs to stop yelling at everyone.

You can do it!

Bi-polar is:

inflammation in your body
(eat NO grains & NO sugar, low carb)

or lack/imbalance of bio identical hormones

or adrenal insufficiency

or a combination of above

If I can find strength enough maybe I'll try that thank you!

Dearest Guitar Guy:

Please download from audible books to your phone a book called The Bait of Satan. Listen to this book. It will help you. I know you might not believe it, but please try it. It's the best, most-loving advice I have to give you. You can do it.

I just got done talking to my sister who is probably bi-polar or something. I don't really know what is wrong with her. She isn't capable of loving me very much. God knows how to heal her. I have expressed my love and now I have to wait for God to do His work. He is capable in Jesus Name, I know it.

I get really upset and I attack my husband. I don't think he is doing things right and I am AFRAID. All the time. I get offended and I hold onto offenses because of the way that I was raised and taught and abused.

He keeps telling me how much he loves me, how beautiful he thinks I am and he forgives me everytime I attack him. It is getting better because I can trust in his love and affection even when I am not well. I have tried to get him to reject me and he has come close a few times, but he continues with me in love. I am still upset with some of the things that he does, but it is getting better. It's a long term project, OP to cure someone who has been abused and who takes offense and holds grudges. It is a very difficult thing. But if you can do this work and keep doing it knowing that she isn't doing it because of something wrong with you, but something wrong with her(do not tell her this), you can help heal her.

You need Jesus Christ. He's the Great Physician. He brings these things into our lives for our spiritual growth. Read the book. Then you can understand.

God and I still have some issues to work out!!but I will certainly take any and all suggestions with a open mind and heart Thank You
