It is kind of a head rush isn't it? Especially if you were like me and always obsessing about appearance and dealing with low self esteem issues.
It sounds like you love and value your husband. I'm married as well, and one thing that I do is focus on being attractive for my hubby...and knowing that really, he is the only one whose opinion counts.
It's tough and stressful but kind of nice all at the same time...hang in there, focus on your marriage and just enjoy feeling good about yourself!

I am a Binge Eater but I think all EDs have things in common. Like anything you can do to get a handle on the stress in life is a good thing.
at least I am not "rewarded" by weight loss from my over-eating; seems like that would make it even harder to stop.
what are you doing to get help?

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

anybody want to talk about ED? I am a binge eater.
I posted this on the MB

and I kind of astonished at the lack of interest. I know people with EDs are out there, but where are they talking about them?

I hope you can find some help - sounds like councelling couldn't hurt but I don't really know. I wish I had something for you.

Bi Polar mixed, manic, NOS
Med's commonly prescribed for Bi Polar: Lithium, Depacote, Abilify. The first two require regular blood draws to check for levels.
ALSO--SOME MEDS CAN AFFECT TESTOSTERONE LEVELS IN MEN. THEY GET LIKE NEUTERED CATS. He should have his hormone levels checked as well.
I would suggest you and he be in contact with a MH professional in your area. (sounds like you are). Additionally, he shoud NOT be having his psychiatric meds being managed by a general doc, as they typically don't stay up on the changes (manic depressive?) Anyway, make a consult with a PSYCHIATRIST (Medical Doc specialing in psychologial and neurological disorders who can prescribe and monitor meds).
Good luck to you both---

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

My father was manic....I know EXACTLY what you are going through. My father was on lithium and it was his life saver.....but I he also had heart problems. Manic can really be a BI**H and so hard on EVERY one in the family. My father would lay around, wear the same clothes for days, sometimes not bath for days.....these were the signals that things were not right and we would take him to the doctor and usually they would admit him and get the meds back in him (he would just stop taking the meds for some reason)....laying around was one of the sure signs things were going right....when Daddy's meds were right he was up and around, working in the yard, doing things....you might consider seeing someone else or telling his doctor about the signs and see if meds can be adjusted.....good luck.
