Maybe I'm bipolar?

user1019 · 28/08/2018 06:40

I am in my second marriage and it's failed, miserably like the last one. Both husbands have told me I have mental problems and that I'm bipolar. I feel like I'm not the one making the mistakes in the relationship though. Deep down I am a very positive person and I love to be happy and make others happy. But I have an evil side too. When someone does something against me, I shut them out of my life, and sometimes get revenge (depending on the situation). When I get pushed to my breaking point I snap. I yell and cuss and have even thrown things. I almost immediately regret my actions and try to make up for it, even though I know I was the one who got crapped on first. My conscience doesn't let me get away with anything. I just googled the symptoms of bipolar disorder and it seems like it could be me. I'm so sad about that. I just kicked my husband out of the house a few hours ago. I told him I hate him, never want to see his face again, and hope he dies :( I didn't mean it, but I couldn't control my emotions. He's been very distant, hiding his phone and put a lock on it, lies about work hours, keeps money from me, is mean to me and the kids, etc. I concluded that he must be cheating. So I snapped. Now idk how the bills will get paid and I feel stupid for putting my 5 kids through this. I'm so depressed about everything and I've had a very hard life and no one to talk to. I've thought about how pointless my life is and how I'm a waste of air. My children rely on me and that's the only thing keeping me going. Advice is appreciated.

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that it must be a really difficult time for you. As you said you have had a very difficult life and your emotions are understandably all over the place at the moment maybe see if you can arrange some counselling for yourself through the GP or relate? I wouldn't worry too much about whether you have bipolar disorder or not at the moment it's a major illness and gets diagnosed when people have episodes. I hope things get better for you soon OP.

Hi OP. I didn't want to read and run. Can you get a GP appointment today, talk it over?
Take it gently, and - at least until you get more advice - give yourself some breathing space. Sounds like you have realised you have got to find a way to control it, and if you haven't found a way to do that by yourself, it's time for outside help?
