I do believe I am bi-polar and that had a lot to do with my actions, but it doesn't excuse them. I disgraced myself and my husband. The guilt eats me up inside.

Just as a manic episode of bipolar could have contributed to your cheating on your husband, it can also be contributing to your "urgent" need to confess now. One of the markings of bipolar disorder is the inability to weigh the consequences of impulsive actions. You need to seriously weigh the consequence of confessing to your husband before you do so. I recommend that you do not confess until you get a definite diagnoses and have been under any necessary treatment. You need to be stable and capable of weighing the consequences before any confessions to your husband.
