I started dating a bipolar man;

I have met a wonderful man, and I have been dating him. He has told me he is manic and bipolar, anyone have any advice for me? I have seen his up and downs.. And I can be very understanding.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello hurtingbad,

Welcome to the forum !

It's nice that you are understanding. People with Bipolar need support. I'm glad you are there to provide some support for your partner.
Their partners need support as well, so you can get the support you need here.

Please remember to take care of yourself.

Again welcome... I hope to learn more about you.

If he told you that he must have it quite bad unless he was joking a bit. I had a girlfriend who would buy a lot of clothes she would never wear when she got depressed two out of every three days. She would be overly sexual one out of every three which was about perfect for me. We would get into fights because of her changes in ideas about careers and her freaking out for nothing and breaking things. She has it together now after a suicide attempt. I'm happily married to a girl with no such disorders.
This guy could be the one to melt your heart away. It gets better after they get older I believe and settle their minds a bit better after 35 or 40. Best of luck to you both!
