So hub has been a little interesting lately. Last Friday he went out with his friends supposedly to the bar to watch the fights. He has done this in the past and not drank, I was a little uneasy but I am not his mother. He got smashed. Was puking the next day, and he does not puke. He said he had about 20 rum and cokes. It is entirely possible that he did drink that much, but he could be making it up too. Told him that with all his medications he could kill himself....don't think he believes me.
Saturday he went out and spent $175 on groceries. We have plenty of food. He bought mainly junk food--canned macaroni and cheese??? I did not even know they made that. He has been trying to eat healthy as his cholesterol and triglycerides are sky high. He said he wanted a break from healthy for awhile.
Today went shopping--bought me, our dtr and himself new watches. Timexes, not real spendy but spendy for us. I usually spend 10 bucks on a watch, these were over $30 each.
Went to the auto parts store to get a new bulb for my head light, guy there does sound like he was a jerk, he was arguing with hub saying that our car does not exist. husband was arguing back, and then started to leave and another part guy went up to the first guy and they were talking and first guy says to second guy that he was glad he was there, he thought that guy (hub) was going to cause problems. Hub turned around and called him a d***head! Now the guy may have been, but in the past hub would have been able to leave.
I talked to hub, he says he is fine. I told him that when someone is hypomanic they can like how it feels, but it can lead to being manic or to depression. He tried to say that he is not bipolar, he was just depressed and now that is done. His eyes are funny. I asked him if I could call psychiatrist tommorrow, he said he is fine, I am just freaking out.
Oh, and he went and got a food box! I don't have a problem with that, but we did not need it. We just got out taxes and I majorly stocked up plus what he boought on Saturday. We have so much cereal I have to put some of the boxes on the counter. We do meet the income requirements, get foodstamps, but I don't like to use resources we do not need.
So should I call psychiatrist tommorrow even though hub does not want me to? Should I wait till Thursday and see if he evens out, maybe he is just in a good mood? psychiatrist does not work Fridays. Hub has an appointment to see psychiatrist next Thursday, but I don't know if I should wait or call. I don't know if it really is just me being paranoid. I will bring it up with my therapist on Thursday, but I am getting really concerned.
I posted this on another forum for adult bipolar family support, but have always gotten good advice here and wanted to see what opinions those here have.
