When my parents and I met, I was hypomanic. But I was good. I was in control yet I still kind of saw myself as better than. A few months in, I realized I was unwell and got on antidepressants ( I didn’t know I was bipolar at the time). He was against this due to childhood trauma of being hospitalized and medicated against his will. I quit those antidepressants and went unmedicated after several months and eventually got one Wellbutrin, which made me not depressed but made my mania spiral out of control and I did and said terrible things. Since my diagnosis, I’ve been on Lamotrigine, lexapro, and Wellbutrin. I’m more drowsy than normal but other than that, I’ve mostly been okay. I can’t say my hypo mania has been perfect, but it’s been much better. Yet he is still resisting because I complain about being tired often. How do I deal?? He says I’m addicted or could become addicted, which is ridiculous. I just don’t want to stop taking my meds bc I don’t want to fly off the handle again. How do I deal with?
