I think my husband is bipolar. All of the posts on here that I have read could be written by me. My husband goes through periods of hyperactivity (ideas for new inventions, drawings of things, big plans for travel, etc.) and periods of unbelievable anger (just yesterday he threw food at me for no reason)
I get so hurt by the things he says to me, even though later on he'll say "I didn't mean it, I just said it out of anger" and I know that it's true. I just feel like if he was formally "diagnosed" that maybe it won't happen anymore. He'll say he wants a divorce, then the next day buy me "guilt gifts" and try to romance me. I am just so tired of being tired.
My problem is that he won't admit there is anything wrong with him other than "I have a bad temper" His ego is so huge, that I can't ever in a million years imagine him going to a doctor for something "in his head".
I feel like an idiot. He has said things and done things (not physically harming me, but close) that I never thought I would put up with...but if this isn't HIM...if this is an illness...then I feel like maybe there is something I could do.
We have a 2 year old daughter and I don't want her growing up being afraid or hating him.
Help.
