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 have been thinking a lot about what BP"ex" said to me. It seems like so many (the majority) of things that he hurled at me were things that somehow in his mind got twisted around as applying to him:
1) he found reasons to criticize me not belonging to a church, and went so far as to fling a disbelief in God on my part. Yet this was what he threw at me:
"My relationship with God is no one's business except mine and my future spouse's".
2) I have never pushed for or even discussed marriage with him, yet he said:
"I am not ready to be a husband".
3)He mentioned not wanting to be in a relationship as it would interfere with his schooling, yet said:
"I am going to be meeting and making friends with ALL KINDS of new people,some women, and I may want to kiss some of them and don't want to feel like I am cheating on someone if I do".
4)"You know how hard it is to meet people at this age"...(Kind of contradicts the above,huh?) This was one reason as to why relocating to be with me would be a bad thing.
I feel like he has filled his parents and family's brains with all kinds of untruths about me in order to be able to justify his rotten behavior.
Does anyone else see the big red sign saying MANIC or is it just me being my "unsupportive" (according to him) self?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Is he in treatment?
You said "ex". Does that mean you've broken up? If so... *my* suggestion would be to forget this man's words to you and LOVE yourself. Don't ever try to figure out and make sense of someone's bipolar outta control, unmedicated, untreated words. I am sure that it's more work than beneficial. Not to mention.. driving yourself nuts trying to explain stuff that is unexplainable.
Best of wishes..
Blessings...

This ALL came pretty much out of the blue as far as I am concerned.
Yes. he is in treatment/on meds. Not sure they are right though. Guess I shouldn't even worry anymore, but I do.
Just my $0.02
