I really hear your concern for your wife. Is your wife on medication? I think the most important thing at this point is to get her stabilized on medication(s) that works for her (and it might take some time to find the right cocktail)and make sure that she remains on them. Does she have a doctor in AZ lined up? And you both might want to check into some counseling to help deal with the emotions you have gone through with this diagnosis and aftermath. I see that you love your wife very much, and it is very courageous of you to stand by her side. I think that once her manic episodes are stabilized you will see the "person in the wedding photos" once again. I am Bipolar as well, and once I was put on proper meds, my manic and depressive episodes are not nearly as severe! Good luck to you!
