Husband with bipolar is affecting my mental health
My husband and I are in our 50's and he has always been in control of his meds and his moods, for the most part. Recently he had a manic episode and was doing better for a while. However, he has become increasingly disillusioned with his career. What he used to enjoy doing he seems to dread now. He hates his job and his boss isn't a good person, so I thought he would be happy to change jobs but he is acting like he is so scared of change that he is stuck. He does nothing but work and watch tv. He even stopped taking some of his other medications and doesn't seem to care.
I am at my wits end. I can't keep doing everything for him. His bad decisions are starting to affect my life and my vision of the future. I see myself living in a studio apartment alone if he doesn't stop being apathetic towards his life. I can't motivate him, and he doesn't even seem to care that I am losing my own mental health trying to keep him on the damn rails.
Any advice for someone who is about ready to give up on him, since he is giving up on himself anyway? I'm so tired. I don't want to lose him but I am so fucking tired.
