Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
For years I've been trying to get it through to my now fiance what BP is about, and why I feel the way I do sometimes. He being a "normie" obviously doesn't get it. Not that he doesn't try.
His most recent argument with me was that being sick is my own fault since I refuse to use an online pharmacy. Call it paranoia, but I just don't trust them and I would probably create more anxiety and symptoms if I tried it. But he blamed me! Flat out said "it's your own fault that you're sick"
I don't want to bring him to any therapy sessions b/c they're always all about him and how to cope with living with a controlling saner. I just don't know how to live with him. I love him, but where do I draw the line? He's not supportive and has even said to "let him know when I'm suicidal so he can leave" He threatens to leave me at least once a week. I'm at a complete loss.

ln relationships we adapt or walk away l know you are the one who is unwell so expecting you to take the burden that he cannot accept is unfair but you are choosing to stay with a man who just can't because you see his good qualities and love him. Be aware too hanna that he has warned you what he is capable of baring from you and if unwell for a long time to the point you walk closely to that darkside of desiring death he will leave.
lf you expect more than he can give or understand you will live a lifetime of being confused and disappointed so accept this way in him no word or Dr will get past who he is. And to my mind a partner should love you beyond everything, they need to step up so you can turn to them first with problems and fears if not what is the point, where is the true partnership its more than wine and roses.
