Your Friend,
Dave
advice please my husband with bipolar tried to kill me and then he tried to kill himself overdose, very scared what should I do.
He had a knife at my throat, I had to say all sorts to him to make him take the knife away like how much I loved him etc and please don’t do this to me. Two weeks after he took an overdose but sent me an email just in time saying goodbye on the email. I left him a couple of day after he tried to kill me and went to live at my daughters house. I am now just so scared I want to help him manage the bipolar and have been reading all sorts about the illness but I am in the UK at the moment just to get away from the country that we live in but will be going back on Sunday, I will go straight to my daughters house not my home where my husband is, he has asked if he can pick me up from the airport but I don’t want to say yes because I am afraid he might crash the car with us both in it. Any advice asap please as I am travelling back this Sunday. He was on dothiapin but stopped taking it, then he started taking amitriptiline of which I think is making him worse.
As always, great information. The article on cormorbidities was very interesting to me personally. I have BPD, but many other things seem to have accompanied it my whole life. Childhood trauma resulted in PTSD went undiagnosed and untreated for 16 years, shortly after I was diagnosed with and treated for depression for 10 years, struggled w/ substance abuse for the next 7 years, went to a treatment center for women and as I got clean and clear headed, anxiety like I had never experienced before set in, year and a half later still having mild anxiety but diagnosed w/ BPD. Been clean for nearly 2 years now (AMEN!) and on a mood stablizer, making a plan w/ all this good info, etc. Finally I feel somewhat sane and moving in a forward direction. These articles give some very interesting insight.
To JoJo: my first thought when reading your post was how my mother dealt w/ me when I bottomed out, became suicidal, and was finally diagnosed w/ my disorder. She was not very strong willed at the time and I easily manipulated her. Whenever my mother spoke to me; be it in person, on phone, etc. she NEVER did it alone. Always had my sister or another advocate to help her think rationally, because my irrational thinking and behavior influenced her greatly. Please get Professional advise on the subject of homicidal/suicial behavior and how to approach it. Unstable is unstable, therefore unpredictable and unsafe. When not in my right mind my mother, whom I love and respect dearly, is not safe. That is sad, but very much a reality.
Why is the person with BP considered the problem, and not the circumstances that got them there, and keeps them there? Also, why can governmental agencies which cause the continuity of life altering problems not be held accountable, and be forced to provide compensation?

I have left previous comments before about my husband being bipolar but not diagnosed by a dr. yet. He refuses to get help and take any kind of medication. Anyway he had been in a raging episode for about 3-4 months. Now I guess he is in the quiet part of his illness. For the last week he has barely said a word to me. He has gone to bed early and slept 10-12 hrs. Gone to work come home and not a word to me again. I keep expecting the yelling and horrible comments but this week they have not been there. I guess this is part of the cycle of bipolar.
To JOJO I feel for you. My husband has held a gun to my head and made me say things like that. I was just 18 and we were newly married at the time. I was scared of him but at the time I had a new baby and was also scared of his parents taking her from me. So I stayed. He hasn’t tried anything so horrible since and we have now been married for 23 years. He still has episodes but not like that. I still think of that and wonder if he will ever try anything like that again. It stays in the back of my mind all the time. My kids are grown and on there own now. And I still don’t know if I want to stay and help him or if I want to leave and live my life. He has become very controlling over me. I try and make excusses for him to our kids and our family. I don’t know why I still do that. I guess I am just trying to say you are not alone.
Shirley,
I will find out what happen to your missing order. Please don’t post things like that on this blog because it’s not secure.
Dave
