 Posted: 07/10/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Dating and bipolarism |
  |
|
Hello,
I really need advice. I am with this girl for 3 months now… she told me at the beginning she has bipolar disorder and is on medication, but somehow I didn’t take that as serious as I could. Although signs of bipolarism are more and more visable to me (I didn’t pay any attention to that at the beginning), I still like that girl, no matter what. It is just very strange and new to me … sometimes she feels like she wants to have family with me, 5 minutes later she doesn’t wants me near… I do not know how should I react… Other vise, I think I am very stabile person and very understanding. I would like to be near her and help her, but don’t know how.

Hello there,
Wooow, you are one of the most understanding and loving persons I met on web… I think you are helping her already by being there, loving and supporting her. It is hard lots of times with bipolar person, but you must understand there are two extremities and non of them is down to the ground… so best for bipolar person is to have stable person (as you are) on her or his side. It is best to talk to her, explain how you feel. Do not be afraid to show emotions…
Good luck with your love!

hello i was looking at this and thought i would offer some insight
my name is mike and i have been dating a bi-polar for over a year we were ingaged for six months but called it off due to an arguementand we got back together i am a really understanding guy and she means the world to me the desease is just something you learn to live with and i have come to accept it as a querk of her beautiful personality and it in no way hinders our relationship
but just a little advice for all of you who are just starting to date bis it is odd at first but you take it a day at a time and you have to relize that when they get angry(sometimes without apparent reason) they will say things they dont mean or will regret
all in all you have to remember it is a uniqueness they have not a curse or a burden it is what makes them all a different person and i have grown to kinda like those with this medical "gift" because there randomness is always means for an entertaining time
well thank you for letting me bore you hope this helps someone
if anyone has any unique or odd questions i am an unofficial knowit all about bipolar and dont be afraid to ask sometime

| you know The doctor's told me i was bipolar although i doubt i am just think it's the stuff in my life but my actions and doing's are signs of bipolar. Me and my bf have been together for almost 8 months on and off now. And ill tell u what, all he does is try to be there for me the best way he can but it also very hard for him.And sometimes i am afraid im going to loose him becuz i just am so mean to him all i can say is have patience with her and just understand bipolar ppl are sexually active. so if she goes on a sexual outburst if u really love her u will be here for her:p |

Well, I'll tell you what, I have some odd questions, but it seems your e-mail was edited by the moderator, so I will ask here.
I am hung up on this guy I'm dating like I can't understand, I can and have handled his ups and downs. The only problem is he is worried about me. He thinks his Bipolarism is comprmising me. What do I do? I mean I very nearly love the guy and he thinks our relationship will and is making me unhappy; that is as far from true as Cancun is from Calvary. I tell him and I really doubt he believes me because he keeps saying it. Any help would be greatly apreciated. |

|

| well 1st I've actually been dating a Bipolar girl for over 3 years now and we've been engaged for an additional 8 months from that...so i am not perfect on the subject i can only help certain cases, but the best thing to do in a depressed mood would be to build her up while she is depressed, because that is actually the most dangerous part of bipolar as far as I'm concerned, assurance is the best thing you can do for some one that you love that thinks she is actually hurting you...there is a recent study that shows depressants don't help AT ALL with bipolars it involve over 300 people with this trait. but i would also suggest instead of asking people so much go buy a book or a tape set that helps you with it...they are expensive but they will improve your relationship and your knowledge...one more important thing there is always something that can fix the mood and something that caused it the more you are around her and try and find it the better you become....if u get to the root as soon as u notice the problem that they are having whether to anxious(causes anger usualy or scared) or depressed (sadness) the easier it is to counteract it but its team work and will require alot of opening up and trial and error/ reading hope i help someone...it even helps me to put my thought down... |
