Hi,
One of the last times I spoke with my h, he told me that he had gotten some blood work done and the Dr.suggested that he see a psychologist for his mood swings as be might be bi- polar.
After 14 years of being with this man, loving this man, and wondering often if he had a chemical imbalance,  he finally admitted that something is wrong with him.
The conversation ended and the subject has not been brought up again. I know that I need to live my life and if he needs to return to this subject with me he will. I just want to be prepared in knowing that it may be MLC, it may be bi-polar,it may be both. Thanks for posting on this subject.

Really great thread.

My husband is seven months post BD. Lots of signs of mania around bomb drop. Before he was very even keeled in general despite having a high stress job. There have been three other MLCs in his family and tons of depression and other mental illness. Lots of divorces and FOO issues related to that and likely mental illness.

My husband just started therapy after nightmarish attempt at couples therapy post bomb drop. (I will not even go to talk to our son's therapist together anymore as he uses as attempt to blame/gaslight.)

His new IC is in the same office as my IC. My IC knows the whole story and believes in MLC. He said that try goal would be for the IC to encourage psychiatry, but this could take a long time.
