I do also feel guilt during the times when I´m feeling better and that annoys me even more than the guilt I may have felt at not being able to do enough. That those loved ones around me suddenly have a new´capable´and positive family member instead of dealing with a constant needy complainer. I´m sure they don´t always quite know what has hit them from one fluctuation to the next........

And I think to myself ´Did I really just put them through all that?´

I said to him- you know what instead of you being angry at me and me being angry at this ********illness, why don't you be angry at it directly without involving me.

This idea actually worked pretty well.
