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've been going through a tough time with my boyfriend lately. To explain it briefly: we lived together with an annoying roomie, I found receipts for a "happy ending" place in Vegas (to which he didn't receive more than a massage because he chickened out), I move out, we still hang out trying to patch things up, he swears undying love for me, I give the ultimatum for roomie to move out if I were to move back in, he agrees, changes his mind because he can't kick out his good buddy, I freak out, he leaves for the San Juans. So here I am....wondering if I am perhaps the stupidest girl for even giving him a second chance. It's been a month since I moved out. Why you ask I give him a second chance? Because I love him, we have so much fun together, he's beautiful, he's funny, he's smart. But it's all really boiling down to this: are we in the same spot in our lives? I want to buckle down...not get married...but get real serious in a relationship. Some of the things he does does not reflect that he is ready...but he says he is. My question...if you're still reading this (thank you) is there any hope for me? How do I know it's over? Everyone says "you're young and pretty, move on". This is really of no consolation to me. Should I keep seeing him and take things slow? Or seriously...am I being stupid? Any advice is needed badly. I'm so consumed with this right now...I need help. Feel free to comment on my journal entries if you like.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
I know if my fella gave me that ultimatium... friends come first.
are you serious? how long have u been togheter?
if you have been together a while, the roomie should get the boot, because you have to know that you come first, and if you dont, there are a lot of other fish in the sea who will put you first....sometimes you have to fight to be first in the beginning, but once they learn that you BETTER come first, they've usually got it for life....so man training in session maybe??
but if you two arent that serious then i understand the roomie coming first. you cant kick out a long time friend over some girl/guy that you dont know for sure about being with for the long haul. in that situation friends come first. then u can try having the relationship outside of living together until it gets more serious.
...hope that helpped?

Sometimes, time apart is the best indicator of your relationship. You can really tell how much you miss/need/love someone when you realize you don't have them there all the time anymore or are risking losing them.
It was hard to move out of our house but in the end, we were much better off because of it. We were married not even a year after that.
