I was recently diagnosed w/ BiPolar disorder w/ OCD. I have excessive spending & gambling (living in Las Vegas it's hard not to). I want to cry all the time. My husband and I don't work the same hours, so I'm alone alot. That's when the urges to spend/gamble come into play. There are days where I hate him and days where I love him. He's the only family I have in Las Vegas and I'm unable to make friends due to my disorder. I don't trust anyone and I'm paranoid to go out sometimes. My husband and I fight about it all the time. He just tells me to "get a hobby" and "this **** has got to stop". Lord I wish it was that easy. I'm contimplating leaving him and moving back east with my family and friends. Am I being to hasty? Should I give it more time? Help!

Go to a doctor and get it in writing and prove it to him... Seek counseling and help for your problem and go to a doctor and get on medication for it too... You really need to stay away from the slots... You and your husband should really move out of the state and away from it... this should help you immensly. Ask him to move back east with you... It also sounds like that you and your husband need marriage counseling too! You also might want your husband to go to the doctor with you so he can explain your disorder to your husband... This way your husband will understand you better. I think this will possibly help change things.

First of all get on medication and stay with it, a lot of people with bi-polar diseases find that they feel good and stop the meds. My husband has been on lithium for 30 years, he never stops taking it because he does not like what he becomes off of it. We have gone through many hard times because if his illness but I am not one to give up on him. Ask your doctor what he recommends for reading material and have your spouse read it. Also have your spouse see the doctor with you so he can begin to understand what it is you are going through.

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/NCly4
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

How about taking him with you to your doctors appointment and having your doctor explain to him what is going on?
