Wife to a spouse with bipolar, severe anxiety, moos wings, brain cyst & depression

Every day is different you never know how it's going to be. My husband suffers from bipolar, severe anxiety, mood swings & depression. We've been married for 9 years and together for over 14 years now; the past two in a half years have been a complete drastic change in life. We have four children and I can't imagine my life without him, I just feel that the more I try the more I'm pushed away. He was diagnosed with a cyst in his brain in Nov' 2007 and since then it's been hell...since then he's been diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression & now bipolar. He's on 6+ meds and his mood swings have been under control thanks to his meds, but theirs still those days that he can be a completely different person.His anxiety has severely worsen.

Its very hard to communicate with family whos never experienced this therefore don't understand what its like to go through this yet alone have to live with someone with this medical condition.

The day we made our vowels we commited for life and therefore not only do I want too but feel I have to be there for him after all he's done everything he could for the kids and I. I have a full time job, my husband stays at home and our kids attend daycare because of his condition I dont feel he could care for them.

 

As for love or sex well we no longer have either. I'm lucky if we have any intercourse once every 2 months or longer. There's no more long conversations, touching, comforting, hugs and kisses. I'm only 29 years old and have a long life ahead of me yet feel as if I've lost my other half/soulmate...

 

PLEASE HELP!!!!
