Hi guys...

I have found this amazing woman in my life, we both have been through hell in our past. We been dating for 5months now and a week ago got engaged. Thing is she has BP and I thought I understood it and could handle it, but being a male we sometimes think we can take the whole world on our shoulders and not show the slightest flinch...... Well putting my pride aside, I need help. She has a beautiful young boy age 5 and he also has his share of problems due to his "dad" not being there for him and letting him down. We are in the process of having him see a Pdoc (psychologist) and being diagnosed with BP (well they not really sure).

Please can you guys help me, i dont want to lose the love of my life......

Thanks

P.s I'm from south africa

Hang in there one day a a time.  I was diagnosed after I was with my then-boyfriend.  We were already living together then.  There was a rocky, miserable year of me gettingonto medications, and we have a fairly normal relationship now.

I CAN get better, but it depends on HER being active in her treatment.

Try the book "Loving Someone With Bipolar Disorder". It is small and excellent!
