Ever since I went through a manic spell this fall and got obsessively religious, my husband looks at me as if I'm crazy every time I do anything at all that possibly might be manic at all. If I say anything about the Bible, drink too much coffee, too much alcohol, say I'm not hungry...I told him I had lost 4 pounds (I've been trying hard to diet despite a hearty appetite) and he looked at me with those suspicious eyes and said "Why? Because you're not eating?" (I lost my appetite when I was manic this fall). He is so suspicious/untrusting of my mental state that it is making me qustion my sanity much more than I already do and it is making our relationship awfully hard. Has anyone been through this with a spouse after a diagnosis, and how do you deal with it? He is making me feel so self-conscious.
