We are both in our mid-late 20s. It runs in the family for her. I’ve gotten pretty good at recognizing when its affecting gets bad at her and have been nothing but patient and understanding. But she has a lot of worries that’s been stressing her out: accidentally lashing out and hurting me, losing interest in things that we enjoy doing together, not being able to keep her job

I’ve promised her that I will never let this get between us, and I’ll stop at nothing to help make her life better. We’ve talked about refinancing our home and get on a private insurance plans together so we can get proper treatments and antipsychotic medications, but from what I’ve read the meds have a lot of side effects.

I just feel powerless. I just want to be a good spouse for her. She’s lived a very traumatic life, when we found each other we were both in our lowest points, and I just want her to be happy. Is there anything I can say or do? Noises to avoid? Or is it really a person by person case?
