I think it's important to have friends outside of your relationship. I would go nuts just hanging out w my unstable bipolar bf. They do whatever they want and there is no stability. Being a caretaker...
The more I'm with my non bipolar the more I want to escape. No offense but my bf does not take his meds. He does not choose to take responsibility. I'm not going to ruin my health. I feel like a...
I'm learning to not take what he says seriously. It's like a revolving door of crazy thoughts and ideas. I'm hanging out with non bipolars and trying to take care of me. Thanks for your response....
Thankyou for writing Fully. It is nuts. It's like watching a different movie everyday. Always waiting and wondering what drama will unfold hour to hour. I was married to a very stable man for 18...
I'm ok. Looking for a renter. My quality of life has gone down since mesting my bp boyfriend 9 years ago. He bosses me around allday, yells at me and the neighbors, always angry and explosive. Tired...
Lavender works when he's in a manic rage. I've learned now to.just leave the situation. I go to another room. He has no one to argue with then....
I'm at my wits end. Ready to throw in the towel. They bring you down to the dark recesses of their minds. It's so exhausting . I just want to feel happy for awhile. I want to be around sensible,...
Well he's unstable again. Short-lived. Don't know if he's off his meds again. He worked a week and his boss said he needed more skill. He is depressed again and blaming me. I'm always the one he...
Sounds disorganized and muddled. My partner sometimes licks me out and it's my home! He's on meds now and comes out of it quicker. I think he realizes his thinking can be way off base. Is your wife...
I've been with my bipolar bf for 9 years. It's a roller coaster ride for sure . They don't have any sense of normalcy. They use drugs, alcohol and will stay out all night. They seem to have split...
He's been on meds for about a month. He's still mildly manic but on the whole able to come out of the moods quickly. Seems to be able to deal w things more calmly. Lets c how long this lasts fingers...
He can't sustain jobs or relationships when he is in and out of mania...
He needs a mood stabilized big time...
Well he's been better with me but got fired again from work. His boss said he was too aggressive...
He actually apologized for an outburst he had. Doesnt seem to be in such a hurry. Let's see if this more patient side of him sticks around for a bit. The mania is not as prevalent. He commutes a...
Yes. It's for the supporters of drug and alcohol users. Though he doesn't drink now, he was an alcoholic years ago. He does use drugs...
I really need to go to Alanon. Don't know what he tells his new doctor. Lies I'm sure. When the docs don't agree w him, he gets another...
He does seem to be more hyped, manic and has crazy thoughts pooping out. All this, since the new meds!...
Tonight my partner came home and said he is starting antidepressants. He's actually been seeing his doctor but not telling me. I saw him take the pill. I'm hopeful😊...
Well he cheats on me too. Today he said "I love you" in the am. After work he got home and was in a manic rage over nothing, accusing me of everything. Sounds like your wife was the one needing meds....
I'll go to a meeting this week. He is out doing coke again. He's already hyper and manic as it is. At leasy pot slows,him down. What a,mess...
I think it's a great idea. My partner was in AA years ago. He had a drinking problem. Now he smokes to much weed and occasionally come. It's just the addictive nature. We spent New Years with his...
I try not to judge others. When someone is in an unstable and abusive relationship you have to make time for yourself. I'm going to make a pledge to get out w friends more, meet new people....
Greetings, One of the hallmarks of bp is changing ones mind constantly. It's worse unmediated. For the spouse it makes having an intimate relationship a roller coaster ride with Jekyll and Hyde. You...
Yes. It was fairly calm. And you? Today he is very delusional and manic. We stayed by ourselves at Xmas. He started a,family drama and we could not attend🤣...
Happy Holidays to all. Be kind to others and to yourself. We only live once. Treat others well. Be kind....
In the long run you might think of a departure from the I'll person. It can literally ruin your life. Life is short and it's not worth it to live on a constant roller coaster. I'm thinking seriously...
Wow, so sorry. The mood swings are tough to deal with. It's tough to grow in this type of scenario. They can care about you one minute and act like a complete stranger the next. Getting out w healthy...
I know the feeling. My partner has the same. He is unmediated and has tantrums like a 2 year old. If the proper medication is not given, and there is no therapy you will have a very unstable...
Yup. People are afraid of my partner. His family always want me around as a buffer. He's unmedicated and unpredictable. He can change in seconds from a seemingly thoughtful person to a raging maniac....
He is very manipulative....
Hope all is well. I do believe he thinks he is unwell. I don't think he likes to admit it. His family don't want him to come over unless I'm there. He tends to stir things up and create chaos. When...
Thankyou for your reply and congrats for taking the initiative to take control of the matter! My partner is in denial. Not sure if it is a gender thing. I do care about him but not at the expense of...
Thanks for checking in. Ups and dow @×+1 as usual. At least he is,able to work. He injured his back a few days ago so I have to care for him both financially and physically. It is like having a child...
Well Thanksgiving went well. He has been on an upswing since. Don't think it will last🤣...
Ok, oops my apologies...
He also uses cocaine from time to time . This is worse then the other. He is capable of sending 50 texts to anyone, employer, family accusing them of fictitious things. He assaults people, especially...
Thanks for the feedback. This morning he woke up delusional. We got invited to Thankstiving w his family. He said he felt that they were going to poison him. He also couldn't distinguish between me...
Probably. He is in touch with his family again. They have a vicious on and off relationship. His father was both verbally and physically abusive. He regularly went to brothels when the kids were...
It's like living w Jekyll and Hyde, split personalities, maybe multiple ones. That's what I observe. He smokes pot and it seems to calm him down. No drinking...
Usually it's your gut instinct. Some people call it a red flag. I need to follow it more. I hope you will have a good Thanksgiving. L...
Lol. Another thing is I don't trust him. When unmediated he makes up stories and indulges in fantasies and delusions. Not a solid character by any means...
Oh she passed. Sometimes I wonder if it's harder on them or us. Life is so uncertain. Why choose misery. I think my pups to the beach w a friend on Sat. Nice to hang out with tranquil folk😊...
Yes I'm making plans. I have a puppy so I'm waiting until she's more housebroken. Right now there is calm which is typical before another storm. Probably start looking after the new year. Are you...
Anyone living with an unmediated bipolar? The minute things start to calm down, something triggers them to become unhinged again. I know it's not them but the illness. It's he'll to live with them! L...
Sorry to hear this. Many times I feel my partner has every disorder in the book! He has rapid cycling where his moods change minute to minute. It's like living with the exorcist. I hope your other...
I agree,with this. You can learn coping mechanisms if you choose to stay. Seems like since she is fine you have an opportunity to take care of you. If she chooses to come back you might decide life...
Hello, Unfortunately he does live me and has for 8 years. He's always threatening to leave if he doesn't get his way . He never follows through though. It's just one of his many temper tantrums. He...
No he doesn't drink anymore. He did before I met him. It landed him in jail several times. He is the kind of bipolar that gets verbally and physically abusive when in the manic state. He has hit my...
Still ups and downs. He always quits his jobs because he can't get along with people in the long run. It's usually him but he blames others. It's a daily battle. There is no joy or peace. He is at...
