I actually am not bipolar however, I have a partner who i feel may be bipolar.
I have had many discussions with family and friends and even started to see a physologist myself as I thought perhaps I was the one with the problem, i spoke to her about the issues and behaivours and she felt that it was highly possible that he could have bipolar. I have mentioned the idea to him and he quite often reacts very badly to the suggestion even though once or twice he has admitted that he knows something is wrong, but by the time the appointment is made or before we get around to making the appointment he has decided that he doesn't need anyone. I am 3 months pregnant with his child and desparately want to work things out. I love him very much and despite what family and friends think I am prepared to stand by him but i am scared that if he doesn't get help that things will end being really bad for my child. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments is there any way that you can convince someone to seek help?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I wish that I could help you more.
Maybe the best way is to ease him into it...Get him to join th site have a look...This a great site and if he can see that he and his brother are nt alone in the world with beepers then perhaps it will not be so hard for him...gently explain to him that whatever his issues may be that it would be nice to have it sortdin a sense before the baby is born so that he can enjoy it rather than being concerned about his reactions to things...may not work but its worth a try an if he has gotten to the point of being concrned himself he is ready for help just doesnt want the confirmation...Best of luck...
