I am bipolar - I am also a recovering drug addict with 9 years clean/sober. I am al in a relationship with a man who has 6.5 years clean/sober and was just diagnosed bipolar 6 months ago. I was diagnosed bipolar 16 years ago. I have to be honest with you - I am not always sure when I am in that state of mind - it takes the input of my friends in recovery to keep me on track. I wish I was able to stay aware of when I am slipping, but despite knowing my diagnosis', I tend to to remain unclear about the state of mind that I am in. Make sure that you take care of you, first and foremost, but be aware that he may not be aware of what is going on. If you don't take care of yourself, thouth, you won't be able to be there for either you husband or you child. Good luck to you - keep posting
