How can i get back to normal?

How can i get back to normal?

Hello

i am trapped. i am running out of strength. we have gone through regular episodes where my husband gets upset about something and then feels he is useless and withdraws into himself, not talking, not eating, not drinking (this is the 3rd day he has eaten nothing). just sleeping, feels terrible, does some of what he has to do and back to bed. not enjoying anything or being part of the family. he was on medication previously and the same thing happened. he has been off all medication for 3 months now and just crashed again. this is the 6th time in 18 months. i feel like running away but know it will be no help. How can i help things get back to normal?
