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.
I am about to divorce my second husband.Both my eses aren't bipolar amd can't handle me having this illness.I know there are some very healthy relationships where one of the people involved doesn't have this horrible illness.I don't think it's possible for me to find that someone specialif the guy doesn't understand what this is like for me.I think I need to find someone who has the illness.What are your thoughts about this subject?
My second hb has something wrong with him, it is just hard to figure out what it is. It is not BP, I think it's more along the lines of OCD and, definitely, narcissism (we had that in common...sad to say).
My 3rd husband has UN-MEDICATED Bipolar, GAD, and PTSD. He self-medicates with alcoholism, gambling, and smoking (which don't work).
My current bf has mild anxiety issues. He may be partly autistic, I'm not sure. I truly adore him. He accepts and loves me just the way I am. I hope we stay together forever.
I don't know if this helped or not. I just am sharing my experiences.
Love,
Wendy
