Bi-polar and marriage

I recently discovered that my wife has bi-polar. I had been wondering what was wrong for the past year, and she to was at her wits end...We now have an answer to whats happening, but right now it seems pretty hopeless! Our marriage is a mess, we work together in the same office so we see each other all the time. I found a book on Bi-polar to help understand...I know I'll never feel or see what happening to her inside and thats not what I'm trying do...I feel helpless and hopeless as does she...The mood swings....the deep depression-spending sprees and not being able to discuss anything with her for fear I will say something that she does like only to have her go into a fit of rage or storm out of the house and not see or talk to her for days...She has only started to take mood pills and this thursday sees a Dr for anti depression pills...Patients is very important here I understand and nothing will happen over night...People who don't have it or deal with think she is being a bitch and just doing this to hurt me...I now know better...I am just getting this off my chest and if there are suggestions for me please let me know...I know there is nothing I can do for her but love-care-support and listen when she wants to talk...She is a beautiful wonderful and very smart person and Maybe one day I can see that person again...Mostly for her sake....Any suggestions would be great, but for know thanks for listening...I feel very alone right now....
