You are always you and bipolar is something YOU have not the other way round.
sorry not a good one - my partner of 11 yrs (Undiagnosed BP) borders on clinical dep.
I quite happily carried the can, compassionate/understanding as we are..Worked 40 hrs a wk, eve college twice wk, 15 hrs homework + all norm womanly/mothering duties..when i had nervous breakdown, he told me it was in my head,sort it out..he wouldnt even let me finish my sentence when trying to discuss & educate..the short version being - he said he couldnt deal with it,too close to home..I do understand this..but this left me no-where..heart-break turns to hatred- despite all, i tried to see if i could exist shutting him out (like being with him-but not relying on him)..thats more destructive than me..I feel like a muppet, thought he, of all would have understood better...(so now i cant trust me, my moods or my judgement..)I know im over sensitive, but it i think this was very clear...
