I am not sure but, I think my husband has bipolar. He was diagnosed with adult ADD about 3 years ago by a therapist and was suppose to see a psychologist for further testing but, refused to go. He is sometimes so nice and attentive and all of the sudden for no reason I know of he becomes like a stranger to me. He will go for a few weeks with out talking to me...AT ALL. When his mood improves I will ask him "what was that all about" and his response is usually, " I just didn't feel like talking". When he is not "mad" at me 0r whatever this is, he makes plans for the future etc. and seems like his old self. NOt sure what it is but, driving me nuts. Please help.
I think your husband could be Bipolar, he def has problems with depression by the sounds of it any way, he may be unipolar, you should try and look up as much info as you can. When he goes through these phases of not talking to you, don't take it personally, it prob isn't your fault its more likely it's how he is feeling in himself, it's hard to understand, if you haven't felt like that yourself, but your husband sounds as if he def cares about you, and he can't help the way he feels when he dosn't want to talk.
I so totally relate. Hubby about 3 yrs. ago dx with adult add. I just realized after being with him for 10 years that there are definite cycles and patterns. I am at my wits end before an admission and or dx. is giving. I don't take anything personally anymore. The children still do. Just today I told him that I think he may be bp with alcoholic issues and that if he still believes that this is not the case, then a divorce is probably the best. How cold does that sound. And it is not even a passive-agressive thing. I need to save myself and the children from further pain. What do you do for a bp person who is in total denial and with no dx? If this works, I will call it shock therapy. Either way there is still a long road ahead.
