My wife was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after our son was born. Midway into the treatment she started forgetting to take her meds and sometime just didn't bother. This sent her into a tailspin that I and her therapist couldn't pull her out of. Eventually, she started blaming me for everything that was going on. After quite a few incidents of being blamed for everything I fought back and we got into a big argument. I suggested divorce in the heat of the moment and she left to her friends house. Later that night she attempted to commit suicide. Needless to say she did not succeed. Thank god. She then spent time in a mental health ward. Since the incident she was put on more meds and sees her therapist weekly. We just finished couples therapy and that went well. She is stabalized but must stay on her meds.
The moral of the story: stay on your meds.
They take a while to stabalize. In the meantime while your body is getting used to the meds and your drs are adjusting your med levels you probably will feel like crap. Improvement takes time. Be patient and stay the course.
My wife is now doing much better and is working on resolving many issues from her childhood that helped worsen the bipolar issue.
