OK, both my spouse and I are unemployed. The problem is medical (I think) he's bipolar, and swears up and down he has a heart issue (despite 2 EKG's and a blood test to the contrary). Whenever I head out anywhere he freaks out and goes into a panic attack.
How can I go out and make a living with NO help??? Please, anyone? Thanks!

As long as the parent that has bipolar disorder is stable and if their spouse does not have the disorder can parents keep their children? Does the state send out a social worker?
My friend has Bipolar Disorder and is pregnant. She is on Disability and is wondering whether or not she will have to have a social worker visit her. She is stabilized ... and her psychiatrist and therapist say that she will not have problems raising her child

I don't know if I can do it anymore. I give and give and give and never get anything in return. He is verbally abusive to me. Everything is my fault when I don't do anything. I get the blame for things that he did wrong.
He is on medication but I do'nt know that they help. Once we got married I learned he had a drug problem - he was abusing prescription pain meds. Now that he has been clean for only three months - this went on for about 9 months of lying about it and consistently draining our bank account - we have about 5 good days then one thing triggers him and he goes into rage. If I do'nt act like I'm in a good mood every second of the day, constantly catering to him asking what HE needs or what I can do for him, he gets mad.
He blames me for crap that I didn't even do, he gets mad at me and runs to his parents. HE IS IN HIS 30'S AND STILL GOES HOME TO MOMMY AND DADDY IF SOMETHING IS WRONG. If he gets mad at them then he will come home. It goes over and over and over again like this.
He sees a counselor and she tells him to try to pull away from his controlling parents. Some days he is on her side, trying to be the best husband he can be and providing for us, working, and our relationship is wonderful, but then one little thing goes wrong and he blames me for something again. We lost our home bc he quit working because he was too messed up on drugs to work so we could afford to keep our house - and I get the blame. His parents and I don't have a good relationship because they try to tell him all this BS that isn't true about me, they talk down to me like I'm a dog, they don't make an effort to try to establish a good relationship with me, and I GET THE BLAME FOR THAT again, he tells me I hate his parents and that they are the only family he has.
We went to try to buy a house that we both wanted and we couldn't get a loan until we got some debt taken care of - SO NOW I GET THE BLAME FOR THAT because he tells me I'm not "satisfied" with what we have.
We have gone on trips together and he'll get mad and just leave in the middle of the trip - take a flight back home.
It's just ridiculous
I love him I have tried and tried. I have lost so much weight over the stress involved in this relationship when I didn't need have the weight to lose to begin with.
I do'nt know what to do.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! WHAT DO I DO? HOW DO I DEAL? IS THERE EVEN ANY HOPE ANYMORE?
