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.
My ex-girlfriend recently suggested that I go and live with her and start slowly as friends/share expenses and see where it can lead.I thought that it was a great idea and was hoping there would be that spark between us again.
So I packed up and left town.After only a week there I realized that we were nothing more than friends and that there weren't any romantic feelings left between us.I told her that I thought it would be wrong for us to start a relationship only because we didn't want to be alone and she fully agreed with me.
Then she told me that having me there was more for insurance that she would not easily go back to her former and destructive previous relationship.She said that having me there would mean that he would not come around her apartment therefore making it again,...easier for her to forget him.
I hardly think these are good reasons for a relationship so I told her I was going to leave and she seemed to fully understand.Then when I got home a few days ago she had removed me as a friend on Facebook.
I'm not sure why but I'm feeling very defeated and depressed,..even physically not well and I can't understand why.I wasn't feeling this bad recently so I'm discouraged.I've tried so hard to take my meds and do things right to recover from my depression so I'm so upset when it comes back and I feel useless even more than before.

As soon as she had recovered from her ex, she would have been off with the first guy who caught her eye and dumped you, or worse, done it behind your back.
You are well rid of her and its not surprising you feel down after being offered something nice which turned out to be complete shit.
Well done for standing up for yourself and not falling for her crap.
Give yourself time to heal over the betrayal and disappointment. You deserve better.
Can't relationships be complicated and sucky sometimes? I think it's natural for you to be upset that your ex-girlfriend axed you as a friend on Facebook since you had agreed that pursuing a romantic relationship again wasn't in the cards for you two. But that shouldn't require the dramatic steps she took. Says alot about her.
Try to look at the situation like a medium-sized speed bump in your road to recovery. Keep taking your meds and working with your support team to regain your balance. You can do this!!
You went in with some honest hopes and she turned out to be using you for her own personal gain without any regard for you as a person. That was awful for her to do. With friends like that who needs enemies?
You seem to be dealing with it pretty well considering. Its great that you were able to stand up for yourself and set boundries - get the hell out of there.
The best you can do is to not beat yourself up for something that wasnt your fault and be patient with yourself in getting over this.
You seem to be an awesome guy. Be gentle with yourself.
Yes, you do deserve better!
