Okay, so my boyfriend is bipolar, i really didnt find out till one of his episodes happened... But he doesnt get depressed he gets really angry, then the littlest thing i say makes him more angry. And i love him to death and i feel that everything i say could be a wrong thing, and i dont want him to blow up so i try not to talk. But i do, i'm a talker.. But now he wants to move out of our apartment, and wont let me in to help him, be there for him. and it makes me scared to loose the one i know i want to grow old with... is there anything i can do?

Hi, l suggest you think really carefully about spending your life with someone who is angry, even if you do love him to death as you say. I am hoping he is not physically violent towards you in anyform Bipolar or not Exclamation

There is medication available to control this, and l hope he is on some.

It is not nice to be scared of the person you love,

Hi

My hubby has bipolar, and believe me I know what you mean when you say you love him.

I can have any guy I want, and I chose him because there is nothing like him

BUT there is one fundamental difference.

We made clear, from the outset, that there would be no abuse, abandonment, or lack of love in our relationship, or there would be no more relationship.

Many years later (we are talking a huge number of yrs later), it was the smartest move I ever made in my life, because I have a reason to be alive with such a wonderful man that is so loving and grateful to me every day of my life.

I never felt such love with anyone else, and I dated so many guys in college and my mid 20's

BUT the MOST important thing is this!

My guy understands what is expected of him, and of me, and he lives up to it, as do I.

if your guy isnt willing to be like my guy, you should dump him.

Bipolar is no different than anything elese. I dated more frat boy creeps than you could imagine. Many of them were empty souls and they had no excuse.

Bipolar doesnt make the person and isnt their identity.,

They are people like everyone else, but many have been through hell, and are scared to open up to anyone.

Regardless, if he isnt willing to meet the things my guy did, you shouldnt stay with him. If he is, and if he is as great as my guy, you will have the man you could never dream of. We know many good bipolar guys and girls but like every other person, there exists good and bad.

It sad that on the Internet, there are a lot of ignorant arm chair, mean advice givers that have not a clue, and act like juvenile delinquents.

Eery situation is different. Expectations must be met or both of you should end it. Much love to you!

Im bipolar and have anger problems too. My advice is dont do it honey you will get hurt either psychologically or physically. He cant control it . Unless he is very settled on anti-psychotics, you are taking chances. It would hurt him so much if he hurt you.If you are stuck on being with him learn the danger signs so you can opt out of any dangerous situations.If he doesnt take his meds leave,

Bipolar disorder is not like living with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

There are different types of Bipolar Disorder and it affects everyone in a different way.

Psychotherapy along with medication has shown to be very effective for Bipolar people. Everyone with moderate+ Bipolar Disorder will experience episodes of Mania and Manic Depression.

You can learn how to become a supportive husband, wife, family member and friend through counseling services offered at clinics or your local hospital.
