Bipolar boyfriend breaking up with me every 3/4months- at my

I'm In the same boat as you. My boyfriend is bipolar and he breaks up with me every year in October (as we are right now and its October) He broke up with me last night. We've been dating for 4 years . He also has his mood swings while we are together. some months we're on great terms, but the next is H.E. hockey sticks but I love him, so I stick by his side because I know his condition. I usually hurt when he breaks up with me in October but I know he loves me because he's always telling me that he do and he will be around me soon because he cant stand to be away from me, Also he knows i'm a good one and he knows that I love him and understand his condition. We do talk about his bipolar and I also go with him to see his psychiatrist and get his medication filled. Even though he takes his meds, he still can have his up and down moments, I guess because this is like the 3rd time they switch his bipolar meds. I know he used to take lithium and sparadome, Paxil, and now he's on this new meds call Valproic. Even though I know he takes his medication, I know he will forever be bipolar but God won't give you nothing you can't handle :)!!!!!

SMC it sounds like you have a good fella there who tries to keep it all under control. Best wishes to you!

Hi ,
we have a older Daughter like this Sounds like bipolar check out Best Lithium Orotate Read about it and Suntheanine L-Theanine its for Relaxation /Reduces Stress and Tension Go read up on it we just put our adhd /bipolar little Girl on it and Wow it works :) it will work and its cheap get it on line !!! God Bless Hope this helps :)

Run and then run some more. My daughter is bipolar and her father is as well. We were not together long as he was odd and did not engage in life. My daughter is high functioning but gets very depressed and does not take very good care of herself(grooming) I brought this on and delivered this to her myself. What and awful illness to pass on to your own children. If you want children isnt it your own responsibility to give them health and two healthy parents that can love them. lease don't do this to your future children it is so selfish. Educate yourself

Thank you! everythim I think about him or miss him I read your post and it brings me to reality.
I hope you doing well.
Thanks

u sound like you have a seriously distorted perception that you are above other people...try humbling yourself, like the REST of the world has to...your not special, or smart......your a jerk. which basically is WHAT bipolar disorder is...jerks with a fancy label to hide behind

Hello I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 4 years ago and it's really hard! All these posts are so true what us guys with this disorder go through! Yes all women seem to fall in love fast with the ones you meet who are bipolar. Yes like myself I'm nice and will do anything to help the one I am in love with. It seems we're unique in our own way. See my problem is I was born with a genetic disorder called Klinesfelter Syndrome and it caused me to be bipolar 2. Yes it does stink, but you have to deal with the cards you were dealt in life! I just got prescribed a new medication and hopefully this works. Cause I been in tons of relationships and I always end them :(. It's sad cause I let so many good women go who really loved me! So yes I'm single now and will over come this disorder and one day live a good healthy relationship with that special someone. Please feel free to comment on this and thanks again for taking the time to read my post. Jay

awesome! i was just doing some reading on projective identification.

catatonic over a year ago

"I am bipolar albiet mild. I was diagonsoed as hypomanic. I think you people need to read some books... highly intelleigent and get bored easily with people of average intelligence. We become frustrated ....phony behavior in people....phony behavior and in my case I loathe it. ....picky who they choose ...ignorant and narrow minded people are a big turn off. Also you may not see your own behavior. .... get off your high horse a....most people have no idea ....Bipolare B 11 ...not highly intelligent ..."

awesome! thanks for sharing. i was just doing some reading on projective identification..

That's normal bipolar behavior. I've been with my husband for 15 years. Same thing. We both are very educated about his condition. It's a rollercoaster so you have to truly analyze yourselfbefore you get into a relationship with someone who is bipolar. It's a life of fun but also despair. You have to learn to seperate the disease from the person you love. Find what triggers his moods. Known triggers are sugar, alcohol and caffeine.

I am going through a very very similar situation, I dont know where to turn tho, I dont know anyone who he will listen to to get help. My now ex fiance & I were on & off for 2 years when I finally decided to give him the actual relationship he wanted, we got back together on March 28th of 2012, he always told me he thought he was bipolar but I was only around him a few days at a time & I at the time did not understand what bi polar really was, I thought it was something that made someone get irrationally angry for no reason, well now I am better eduacated on the subject & I know it is not just about anger it is about all of their emotions being out of their own control, but anyways bc I did not understand the disorder nor did I think he had it I always told him I did not think that was what it was & left it at that, we were back together for real this time, the I love you & whole 9, well 2 months into things this time he went to prison, I stuck by him the entire year he was locked up & we did GREAT the entire year, he is such an amazing man whom I love with my whole soul, he got back home May 10th 2013 we immediately were stuck up each others butts lol we wasted no time to move in together & got engaged June 28th 2013 then began trying to have a baby =) Everything seemed so amazing, then I began seeing his mood swings where he went from being just fine to severely depressed & not talking for days, he would go from couldnt keep his hands off me to not wanting to touch me & he started wanting to do all this crazy stuff but with him on parole I was so afraid of losing him again I had to keep a tight leash so to speak on him & had to keep his feet on the ground with the stuff he wanted to do, he even began getting very distant from his son on many occasions, never wanting to do anything with him, then he got VERY into his video games, he would play for hours & hours on end & if I interrupted him to ask him something or for dinner he either got extremely angry or just flat out ignored me, he would leave social functions either we were having or at someones house to go inside or home to play these video games, a week before Halloween of this year he left me for a week telling me he needed space & to figure out if he felt the same way about me, I gave him his space & he came home telling me he was still in love with me & was not happy without me but that something with him still didnt feel right at all, but that without me he was more miserable so he agreed to see a counselor...He never saw a counselor he began to get better with his moods & everything. On Thanksgiving of this year we had an amazing time, he told his whole family how amazing I was & how in love with me he was & that he could not wait to marry me...4 days later he ended things with me telling me he was not "in" love with me anymore & was not happy. I also found out the night before he left me he was in some singles sites online & texting other girls...I am beyond heart broken because all I can do is blame myself. I have spoken with his mom who has NO idea why he did this to me bc of everything I have been there for him through & said she NEVER saw it coming what with what he was saying 4 days earlier, she asked me if I thought he had something wrong with him so I told her about him telling me he thought he was bi polar so I started researching the disorder relentlessly, I have even taken some of the online quizzes for it & every time it comes back with the same result, bi polar 2. I cant help but not believe him when he says he doesnt love me anymore, you dont fall out of love with someone so quickly & for such reasons as what most couples fight about on the daily, seeing all of your posts gives me hope that maybe if he can be convinced by someone to seek professional help that he will get it & realize he does in fact love me & want our family back. Also is it normal for someone with bipolar to run back to "destructive" relationships bc as soon as we broke up he ran back to his ex who cheated on him multiple times & who was very mean to him, I dont get it unless it has something to do with the disorder itself. If anyone still checks this could you let me know please, I feel worthless right now & I need to either get over him or help him, not only for my own selfish reasons but for his son, his son deserves a father who will always be there for him! Thanks in advance!

Hi.just read your post and didn't want to run without leaving a reply I have been dating my boyfriend for a year but I've known him for 10 years I can fully relate to.your experience and so sorry that you have lost the love of your life it's so heart breaking X

so you must loathe yourself...

Dear Michelle,

Your experience is almost like mine. I have not fully broken up with my bipolar BF because I still love him a lot. My problem is not so much with the havoc that the disorder brings with it, my bipolar BF can't seem to be able to separate himself from his ex of 5 years. He knows it very well; that's the only problem I have, not so much the equally challenging symptons of the bipolar syndrome. Not to trivialize your problem, but it's doubly hard this neck of the woods because of the Ex GF. I'll pray for you and I to be able to do the right thing with the situation.

It's not easy being Bipolar , and getting blamed for everything , People have taken this Bipolar thing too a whole norther level .
