Let me get this straight:

* Your husband told you that the doctor took him off the meds because he's not bipolar afterall. The doctor did not tell you this.

* When you spoke to the doctor, he couldn't tell you anything due to confidentiality. So, your husband did not put your name on a list of people that the doctor can speak to about his illness and treatment.

* Your husband said that the doctor switched him to an antidepressant that he hasn't filled yet. However, the doctor told you personally that he does not switch his patients medication like that.

I'm more confused than ever. Is my husband bipolar or isn't he? Is my husband even being treated for bipolar? What am I dealing with? This is all SO strange and makes no sense to me.

You're dealing with a husband who is bipolar, non med compliant and a liar.

I'm doing some clean up. Scared. Changing everything. Deleting. What have I done?

Reckless impulsive spending + rage + threats of suicide = Borderline Personality Disorder.

Take a look at the forum at www.bpdfamily.com

You will find many stories that are exactly like yours.

P.S. Talk to the doctor about the possibility of bpd. Bi-polar is supposedly just an imbalance in the brain treated with meds. BPD has more to do with childhood emotional trauma. It can be treated with a kind of cognetive therapy. Some people have recovered. But untreated it will just get worse.
