About Me
I am twenty year old music student and suffer with bi polar disorder and anorexia-as my doctor diagnosed me. I have a very strong passion for music and acting. I sing mainly opera and enjoy all classical music and choral works. Music is basically the food I need to survive, and acting has always been a part of my life-although I do not intend to go any where with acting because my heart is in singing and hopefully conducting one day. I also am a dancer and runner and enjoy the fine arts and history. I love helping people in need and now apparently I have to help myself as my therapist says so I was told to come here for a little extra support, and now Im excited to see what this website is about.

you sound SO SO similar to me! The unfortunate thing is, only people with bi polar disorder will ever truly understand and relate to what you're going through. The important thing is to surround yourself with people who are willing to learn as much about the disease as possible. This includes of course your boyfriend. ;) I'm having the same sort of issues with my boyfriend right now so I totally understand what you are going through. If you're very open and say what you feel, don't hesitate to do so and tell him if you're important to him he needs to be willing and able to help you stay healthy. That includes learning as much as possible about bi polar disorder and what he can do to help you and help your relationship stay healthy. That's the biggest thing! He may never be able to truly understand but he should be able to help you through the tough times and BE understanding to what you're going through. The more he learns the better understanding he'll be not to take things so personal when you either rage at him, or being quite and withdrawn. Sounds like you're compromising for him, he needs to do the same! Good luck! I'm here if you need an ear :)
