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.
Generally, with lack of sleep I tend to go off on my ex girlfriend (who moved 2mo ago due to BP) when she hurts me. She says nothing to me and I do the same. She plays and says not one text? She knows I'm bi polar and still madly in love with her. She makes that comment so I text last night with no reply. This AM she texts sorry I was out w my friend (not sure what that meant). She has a small surgery schedule for today. I asked if she wanted me to go like I have been the last year. She never answered I took it as a yes. Today she says I didn't ask you. I replied but you never say no. I text 3 times (which is amazing for me). The last text ended in I'm disappointed. her reply was wow. I don't even feel manic which is amazing to me. I did write an email. I'm trying hard to wait until Saturday. She expects a hurt or guilt trip text. I'm here to keep my "good" behavior up! Thanks.

Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and alone. I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it. It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move. Also having my niece coming around who suffers bipolar and refuses to take medication for it. Its been...

When i was in the ER February 16th 2025, i was being admitted to ICU where i was for 3 weeks, then had to relearn to walk for 3 weeks in another hospital rehab floor, the nurse told me something that made me feel for over 18 months now that i was finally *safe*. She told me that the guy who raped and beat me 21 years ago now almost 20 years at that time, was in prison as of a month before that...
That you use Ex- and that you keep "Playing" is just asking for stress and trouble...
Human behavior! You are right - not good : ) I've been told, you can be friends with an Ex - but really, distance and healing is needed. Trying to stay friends, and have text and email - "trips"... setting yourself up! Now that is a regular bipolar thing! LOL
Thanks GW
You don't have to be co-dependent, OR let an Ex play with you....
You could TRY and Not text her a bunch of times, and blame her for leading you on....
Just an idea, I know it sounds strange - but nothing wrong with TRYING a Healthy choice : )
Much luck to you : )
I think once you're both over what was once an intimate relationship friendship can be pursued...
But it doesn't sound like much of a friendship now at all just a lot of painful games..
If it were me I'd either end it completely or at the least have the discussion of whether or not there's any hope of being a couple again..
If she says not then I'd cut ties and walk away..
I'm sure there is someone out there who could really love you and make you happy..
I agree with Gina this sounds more like obsession and not healthy at all....xo

Maybe try to join a singles group to get out, there is a site called meetups.com, I know its on the east coast in U.S., but I know if u do an internet search u can find singles groups in ur area. Please don't stay stuck in a one way relationship, it will only lead to more hurt. hugs,tedi
I can't stop thinking ... And wondering ... I feel like this is a start to a really long road. It sucks being alone and thinking!!! I'm glad I can't vent on here .
