My husband is bipolar and he is driving me crazy! He also has MS so maybe the two are related.
My main job is teaching on line, yesterday he had a slight medical emergency so I took him to the "mini-ER" for not serious cases that don't need the hospital.
I had to cancel 3 hours of lessons to do that.
Today he was not coherent, and interuppted a lesson, telling me that he wants to go out, but not telling me where he wanted to go, and the student (an adult who wants to learn Hebrew) heard my husband. The student felt uncomfortable with the situation, so I had to cancel that lesson too. Now it started raining, and my husband finally took "no" for an answer and doesn't want to go out. This is too much for me!! I want to scream, and move out!!

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that bipolar and multiple sclerosis aren't related.
I'm sorry that you are feeling frustrated with the situation.

@lifecoachjerusalem Is he able to get medicine for the bipolar? Here, besides the medicine, there are support groups that someone suffering from bipolar can attend and talk to others about their daily issues.
My family has a history of mental illnesses and I have and have had several relatives with it. I understand how frustrating it can be and how wild their moods can change.

The two ailments are not related. Did you know about them before you got married?

Bi-Polar and MS are definitely not related, they are two separate disorders. One is a mental illness and the other is physical.

Well, he is charming around other people, but not so much to me.
