Does anyone know?

Does any one know what kind of a forum or anyone I could ask about how hubby has been acting? There's really something wrong with him! He stays up all day/ night sometimes, seems to have endless energy, them BAM, I know he's probably gonna sleep all weekend. He does have borderline personality disorder, that side of the forum is too quiet to ask, and because of the nature of the condition, I'm not sure I would get the best answers. I am 100% sure he does NOT use meth or anything, maybe he's seriously manic/depressive? Any answers would be appreciated. thanks. Because of privacy rules anymore even though I'm his wife I cant MAKE him get help, dumb rules if you ask me...

does he have moments of chattyness, extreme happiness, itchy at all? His appetite low during these times? Look at his pupils etc. Are you 100% sure hes not using anything?

He doesn't see it in himself, but everyone else sure does...

sounds like hes having manic episodes to me...he wont seek help?

Borderline Personality Disorder is often accompanied by cyclothymic behavior (sort of a 'soft' form of Bipolar). Might want to look up the term cyclothymic and see if it fits.

In any case, I know it's sometimes hard to love someone that has Borderline/Bipolar Personality Disorder. And I also understand when you say you aren't likely to get the best answers if you just ask him... sometimes it's best (or the only thing you can do) not too push too hard and just let them know you are there to talk to when they want to talk. Hang in there!

all I can say is some problems do go away on their own and some don't you have to solve them someday and its best to solve them as early as possible because they become worse with time. So, if waiting for it to go away on its own hasn't worked then you should start doing things to solve ur problems. Probing n pinning down the problem and then applying the required solution is needed, best of luck...

I think he had kind of a turbulent childhood, but I've known him for 26 years now and I treat him very well, you could be right though...we don't even talk to that branch of the family anymore due to all the drama.

it could also be something that may have happened in his life, at work or elsewhere perhaps n he hasn't shared wid u n its temporarily affecting him this way, maybe you should ask him about it if it is bothering you...

Thanks, sometimes it's hard to get an answer over there, I never tried the relationship one though
