Bi-Polar

[Mish]

Sigh, I'd like to still believe what I did as a kid. That love conquers all :-/

I'd like to believe that too, but reality gets in the way



It could work, but it will be a lot of work

I dated someone who was bipolar.

The disorder destroyed the relationship.

If he was on meds it was tolerable. Then the meds would stop working or he'd stop taking them completely.. and it was a nightmare. Then he would get back on the meds, rinse and repeat.

I couldn't handle it.

Trying to have a relationship while constantly dealing with his manic highs and dangerous lows was impossible.. and it wracked me with guilt, either due to feelings that I couldn't/wasn't helping enough or from his outbursts involving him feeling like I was "abandoning him," etc.

If you've tried the relationship, you know how it will be, and it's failed-- why would you give it another shot?
