If you get medicated and take care of yourself in order to be productive, you may have a chance, but other than that, the chances of divorce could be great.
oh he$l yeah! because you were not on medication during the marriage.
I like you am bipolar, have been clinically depressed for umm…. five years now. I am on lexapro which helps with the depression. Only you can ‘let him’ push you into a manic stage. Don’t give him the fuel to feed the fire. It isn’t just an excuse. Depression happens when you’ve been through a traumatic experience in your lfie. I’ve been through several and I am continually going through them. It won’t just go away. You’re not alone. Trust me. I know how it feels to go through it. You really need to focus on staying strong and not letting him get to you. I almost lost my first daughter from that crap and I wasn’t going to just let him walk away. Get on the meds you need. They make a really big difference. Then try and take on the world! Best of Luck!
depending where you live, most counties have free mental health services. there is also free legal aid available, contact your state BAR association, they can provide you with information, points of contact for guidance to assist you. good luck
If you can show that you are and have been stable for a long period of time – using meds, counselling, etc. and haven’t harmed yourself, others or your child then the court will take this into consideration. People who are bi-polar can hold down very responsible jobs and are generally very creative. It shouldn’t play against you in a divorce but it will certainly be considered for custody of your child – the best interests of the child is the most important issue – you will probably get joint custody. Talk honestly with your attorney. You and I know that anyone who hasn’t experienced clinical depression unfortunately just cannot understand what it is about. You seem to be trying hard and doing everything right. GOOD ON YOU! Don’t let anyone get you down. You deserve a decent life so go out and grab it. Wishing you the best of luck and a wonderful future..
