Hi, I just found this board. I need to be a part of a support group, has anyone experienced the massive spending, drug abuse from there bipolar?

I'm married with 2 beautiful children, married for 17 yrs and its on the rocks, I've hurt my husband by the spending and drug abuse. I'm set to see a new psy. and I'm praying that I can get my meds. worked out.

I forged a pres. I'm on probation, I had to do community service, I lied about some of my hours and now they want to vioate me. I could face jail time, I'm scared and feel alone in this.

I think my husband is trying to understand, he really doesn't , I'm trying to understand my self and help him to. Its like I'm having an out of body experience, I do something and I can't believe I did that.

Would appreciate any advice, or anything, thanks.

I guess my first question is...have you been diagnosed with the illness yet? There are many people out there that do drugs and massive spend that are not living with the illness.

It's kinda like what came first...the chicken or the egg? First things first, you need to be clean and sober for awhile before anyone can tag you with the possibility of having the illness.

The other thing is if they are advising you to get involved with a support group, I don't think an on-line one is going to fit the bill. You need to go to psychical meetings such as NA (narcotics anonymous)to get support from people that can actually lay their hands on you. You will be given a sponsor and my best advice is to listen to them!

Community service...they let you off pretty easy, yet you were willing to toss it all away by cheating on the hours even though you knew that it might lead to jail time. My suggestion is to beg for forgiveness and do more community service than that that is being required of you to meet their requirements.

By not completing the community service, you are basically saying to them that you are not sorry for your past actions and your still going to do whatever you want too. By the way...thats what led you to the predicament your in now.

Either way...good luck

Thanks for the response, you comment is the cold hard truth. I have been diagnosed and was seeing a psy. I felt like they were not helping me so I told my family doctor. He has been treating me and things just keep getting worse, so he has helped me to get into a new psy. and get myself back on track.
