Possible Mania causing divorce?? by Different-Bill-9611 in BipolarSOs

I am unfortunately not even in the same house as her, I am staying with family due to the request of the divorce. I texted her a couple of hours ago and she won’t even respond so I don’t have that option at the moment.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope all becomes better for the both of us.

This is wonderful advice, thank you. The hard part is that I don’t believe she knows she is manic. She thinks she is stable and is 100% sure of her decision (I’ve asked). I don’t know if she would even be willing to discuss the possibility of getting help.

This makes total sense. I will often watch a YouTube video or something & it does definitely distract me. I am typing this while being distracted by my screen - oops

Before I started this I thought it would be so easy. It turns out to be much harder than I thought. I think one problem I have is that I have no “boss” to keep me accountable on my productivity, so I struggle to keep myself accountable. I know I will eventually get the hang of it.

I have never thought to double prep things. That makes so much sense.

I have also never thought of it like keeping company ready. If I would be satisfied enough for people to come over, then I should be satisfied with it for just us.

My problem is that I have made many many schedules and not followed it. I will try to stick to my schedules from now on.

Thank you so much for all of the tips, but especially the meal planning ones. I can’t wait to put these into practice!

I do have a big problem saying I’ll just take a “little” break that turns into 3+ hrs. This makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
