Without a doubt my prayers are with you that you can find some peace in your life and within sometime real soon. You are blessed to have such a wonderful partner as you do, that is amazing gift. I can understand somewhat as I too am manic depressive from around 22 all the way to today at 39. As I came from a poor country family I never went to a doctor about it, I really didn't even realize the mania and depression were connected. About two years ago I started rapid cycling really bad which made me feel as if my sanity was being ripped out of my head in all direction, It was so bad I was forced to finally seek help. Luckily for me I responded quite well to litium and have manged to be stable enough to stay in school and get my life on track.
I know this may sound sort of ridiculous but I was wondering if you have ever tried smoking marijuana? I ask because when I was suffering my worst smoking a little would always make things a little better; the depressions were grey instead of black and the manic episodes weren't out of control. Many american doctors are divided about the positive effects of the cannaboids in it, but I have read some amazing research results from Canada about marijuana. One of my T's totally supports my use in times of need, the other wants me to quit it forever. I guess I always felt that if there is a God who is good and created everything natural then it must be a good thing as well.
I of course don't suggest that smoking it will solve all your problems by any means, only that it might give you a little help in making it through to the next day.
