You mentinoed that you worry about your husband worrying about you, me too. Infact i didn't tell him when i first found out cuz i wanted to be 100% sure when i told him (i just told him i had anxiety not Bipolar II). when my heart was racing or was all jittery and shaky my husband would look at me and say "just stop it, you can control it if you really want to." That was so frustrating! But he is a loving man and i think the things he's said have been from fear or the feelings of helplessness. I agree with you, i think unless you've struggled with it you'll never know.
-if you don't mind me asking, you mention that you're loosing your voice? Being in radio i would first think of polyps on you vocal folds, but i guess they'll be checking all that out when you see the ENT. However, IMHO if there is no general physical evidence i would ask if any of the medications you are on cause muscle constrictions specifically -dystonia.
BTW, feeling better today. This last week i felt myself slipping into depression, yesterday was bad but today i'm feeling ok. Maybe those drugs are starting to kick in a little?
