Bipolar episodes every 8 months

Bipolar episodes every 8 months

Hi everyone, I have been with my husband for 4 yrs now. 5 days ago he started to become very irrational and grumpy. He is not currently medicated professionally for his bipolar but is medicated for his depression. I am not sure what to do as the last 3 times he just pushes me away and tells me to stay away and he hates me. After a couple of days I always seem to be able to settle him down and we get back to a stable living. I feel there is always something that sets it off. I need advice on wat I can do and how to organise the help he needs? He also is self medicating with marijuana. He has been violent in past relationships but so far has never been towards me.
