bp + bp = ?

I just recently met a guy that I felt a real connection with pretty much instantly. He's fascinating...and apparently he is also bipolar. I am wondering if anyone else out there has ever dated another person with bp? If so, how did it work? Just curious to see if it's even harder with 2 bps in a relationship...or possibly easier because you understand each other? Feedback greatly appreciated :)

I say best of luck to ya.
We mustn't stereotype ourselves too much.Every woman I ever dated had issues of some sort and they are considered sane.

I married one, & I lived with another for 11 years..I think under-standing helps, so you dont take moods personally. I dont think it makes a difference really.

I've never... but I would figure 1 or 2 things could happen.
1. You would be intuned with each other and it would be magic
or
2. The universe would implode on itself.

Sorry to make humor out of this. But I wondered about this also.

It's a turn on.

I mean..to know that some part of the 'unknown' is shared.
That's so cool.

mackula....you hit the head the nail on the head....that's exactly what i was thinking lol....i hope it's not an Armageddon-type situation...and i will say so far, things have been pretty great...it's actually kind of bizarre but really refreshing to be able to talk to someone completely unguardedly and without having to try and explain things that you know the other person will never understand anyway....he just gets it :)

Plus all the combinations !!

BP 1 with BP 2.
BP 2 with BP2/PTSD
BP1/PTSD with BP1/fuck up

etc.

This is GREAT ! sorry, I am easily pleased too nowadays.

I have bipolar II and my partner was just diagnosed with Bipolar II also..We've been together for 10 years. So far it's been good because we are so understanding of each other.

I know..it took me AGES to get used to the language that Mental Illness demands from us.All those Acronyms.

Don't say " What's an Acronym ? "

Hahaha

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
