I am now 5-1/2 months pregnant after going thru infertility for over 3 yrs. Yet the last 2 months I've been dealing with a hypo manic husband.

My husband has been bi-polar which I first realized in 1996 (I met him 1990). We were married in 1999. Unfortunately, he has been on meds and seeking a therapist help but I still have this roller coaster ride at least once a year.

Also he gets delusional after being manic for quite some time. This time he started to get delusional and now he is missing. He took the car and left and I have no idea where he went. I think he left because he knew I was going to take him to the hospital. It is almost 1:00 AM and he is still not home.

I just needed to vent because I'm worried but at the same time would like to strangle him. I know he can't help his actions. The doctor recently put him on Trileptal which I think brought on this worse behavior. Of course, his doctor is on vacation and the hospital could give a s-it about what is going on.

I'm just hoping God is watching over him and he comes home or calls soon.
