[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those two would be red flags for me if he suffered from something like bipolar disorder.
^^You named it.  So I'm wondering now if I'm just totally late to this party and we need a major mental health intervention (?) I feel like this has snuck up on me.  
I was very pregnant when he lost his job, and then  finally kind of got in a groove with the new little person and the sleeping, and I kept thinking he would get an offer.  I just don't feel like his day-to-day mental state is that off, but maybe I'm missing the forest for the trees.

Thank you so much to all for the advice.  I'm actually - surprisingly - very glad I posted.  [/quote]

OP, no I don't think you are late to the party.  It sounds like your husband suffers from the type of bipolar where he does not have obvious highs and lows.  But the impulsivity of wanting to buy a new car and not thinking about the cost, etc added to the obsessiveness of the spreadsheets sounds like he's in a manic phase.  I'd drag him to the doctor in anyway you can.  Bribe him, trick him, drag him kicking and screaming, whatever.   I know the difficulty of tinkering with bipolar meds and how it isn't as easy as "here is a new pill, give it a try" but it is worth a shot.  And don't blame yourself.   [/quote]
