Bipolar Disorder Support Group

I don't know. I'm a little manic right now. I just took my evening meds. My father told me I was high and I'm calling him back in an hour to see if the meds have kicked in. He's my rock. He admits that it's double edged sword. He says I'm definitely more fun when I'm high and he enjoys talking to me but that I'm going a mile a minute and he can't keep up. What can you do? I was having auditory hallucinations and I feel hypersexual right now too. It's not an excuse it's an explanation. It's the disease. I should be better when the meds kick in. It's our brain. I often wonder about the mate I will have in my life. Will he be as supportive and as understanding as my Dad? Gosh. It's something to think about. I hear ya. Just take your meds and do the best you can. Find support. Keep coming here. Good luck.

Sounds like classic bipolar symptoms to me. I think you probably wouldn't do most of these things if you were not a beeper.

How do your relationships turn into hostile takeovers?

Generally I start a relationship all lovey dovey, but after a few weeks, I start taking control. I start telling him how to dress, what to say, do my best to mold him into the person I think he should be, change everything about him I don't like, I make him spend money on me, I have forced guys to quit jobs to be with me, I tell them where to live, everything. I takeover their lives, and break them down to nothing.

I get this what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine type of mind set. Take it all and give nothing in return.

Wow, I like you, but lets never hang out.

Well coming from my point of view...I could see where that would run them off pretty quick. Are you aware you are doing this, or do you reflect afterwards?

Hindsight is 20/20, I usually don't see it until they have become what I thought I wanted, and I get board with them. I toss them aside like a used sock. I'm not sure about running them off though, I have two exes who keep trying to get me back.

so maybe you are looking for a little fight in the guy? A little drama, to keep you on your toes? Maybe your looking for a guy that wont allow you to do this?

Sure I love a challenge, but in the end I always seem to win. I don't think he exists.

it is an explanation I'd say but I would also say it is wrong of your pdoc to not take a more avid interest in you and do more with your meds if you have ins.

I think it's both. It's an explanation for what we do but when we become aware then we should be able to change things. I think we then use it as an excuse to not change.
