Bipolar Depression

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE FORUM WHERE SOMEONE DISCUSSED THE BP SPOUSE GOING ON SINGLE SITES, AND ESPECIALLY NAMED ADULT FRIEND FINDER? MY HUBBY TENDS TO GO ON THERE BUT SAYS HE ONLY IS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK TO, BUT DURING HIS MANIA STAGE HE IS MAKING UP NEW HANDLES AND LYING ABOUT THEM, I JUST WANTED HIM TO READ THE ENTRY TO SEE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SAYS ABOUT THIS BEHAVIOR SO HE DOESNT THINK IT IS JUST ME....IT IS DISTRUCTIVE TO BP'S. I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR IT AND DONT SEEM TO SEE IT ANYMORE, I BELIEVE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN OLD ENTRY.
THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING. BY THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO THE VA HOSPITAL THIS WEEK FOR A CHECK UP, DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW THEY WORK FOR PSYC TREATMENT? WE WENT TO A PSYC LAST MONTH AND LIKE I POSTED BEFORE WE WERE THERE ONLY 20 MINUTES AND DR SAID NO SIGNS OF ADHD OR BIPOLAR BUT SENT US HOME WITH WELLBUTRIN AND LAMITCAL, NOW WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE TELLING US NOT TO GO BACK TO HIM, WHICH I AGREE BUT WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THE MEDS? THESE ARE MEDS THAT DO SEEM TO BE WORKING AND I DONT THINK A PERSON CAN JUST GO OFF OF THESE ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT A PROBLEM. LOST AT WHAT TO DO AS HUBBY IS WELLING TO TAKE MEDS JUST NOT TO GO BACK TO THAT DR.

Hi Bren,

I remember reading about the dating sites, but I think it was in the "friends & loved ones" section. There is another web board you can try - they have a lot of posts about this sort of thing. I don't know how to post a link, so you may have to cut & paste it" http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/bipolar-support-forums.

It is a very active board that I only found out about because someone on this board posted a link to it.

Good luck to you.

Hi Baby,

I know my ex did that singles site thing a lot when we were together. He even did it in front of me. For awhile it seemed like an addiction, and it probably was. He said he just liked to read the profiles, but I found it very hard to cope with. I even had a dating agency phone our home once when we were still living together. He said that some friends had given the agency his name, nothing to do with him.

thanks for responding, it has been awhile since I have been on here, I guess I am a little depressed lately, both the phys we went too then the VA physciologist say they dont think SO is bipolar...I cant believe it, I have lived through hell and back from Nov. to the middle of Febr. The first Dr. said no he didnt think so but sent us home with wellbutrin and lamictal, now hubby is going to stop the lamictal because he wasnt sleeping and the VA dr. said why not. I am so frustrated and quite honestly afraid of what I am in for once AGAIN.
The VA Dr. said since he didnt spend all of our money and didnt have extreme highs and extreme lows he didnt appear to be bipolar and he even said no signs of ADHD, I wished these Dr. could live with these people.
I did talk to the VA Dr. some but not as much as I would have liked but knew from the S/O look that enough was enough. He is not abusive but I knew it wouldnt be good if I kept pressing...so off we went. We go to a reg counsler and she thought at least he was ADHD and she did encourage him to stay on the meds but what can she do?....I am frustrated to say the least. He didnt mention his affair or his online chatting or adult friend finder....I did tell VA dr. about affair and he said he thought we needed to go to counsler together instead of seperate like we have been going, but that has always been up to S/O to make the move on that one, I have been ready but he has said NO....but now he is thinking about it, all I know is I will not every go through another 3 months of a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Baby
