Yeah I've read posts from some people who said no one else knew about their spouse's mental illness and they felt they couldn't tell them. Oddly enough, I did mention her multiple personalities and PTSD to all who knew me (and some of them have met her) so they did know something was up. They also saw me come into work every day looking tired from lack of sleep because I was up all night comforting my wife because she was "triggered" or scared, they saw me come in late or leave early or miss entire days, I actually took a week of FMLA once when my wife took a bunch of pills. She refused to go to the hospital because she knew they'd commit her, so I made her vomit, then made her drink coffee and stay awake till we felt the danger had passed. It was so crazy!
I'm also blown away by how many people are going through the same things I have. No one really understands the craziness unless they've gone through it, so I really do appreciate this board.
