You should start a group for people who support bi polars. Many of us have spouses and partners, I'm sure you can find people here who understand.

I know my boyfriend has been through hell. I can sympathize with you very much. You are Saints.

I agree you guys are amazing!!! I don't know where I'd be without my husband. I know I've put him through horrible things, I can see how it affects him sometimes. I feel bad about it, wish every day that I could get better. Anyways Penny is right you should definately start a group I'm sure lots of people would join.

i had the same problem in 2000 my wife divorced me,,,and its dam hard to find a female..they sense it right off the rip..very sad thing,,a support group would be great in this..ive alway wonderd about married people that 1 or both have bp..i posted a thread when i joined..i got alot of good responses not bad ones...seasons change so do we..you dont have to be seasonal deppreshion as i am..to have the vicious cycle between a woman and a mad..i talk to this lady,,that says she likes to go talk to others on here cuz her man said i cant handel you..or i want you to get support online...i bet he gets the support in bed...this would kill me bad..ive had times with x womnen labeling me..saying anytime somethings all wrong you need meds or you need to see ur pdoc.. YES A SUPPORT GROUP ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT YOU THINK YOU CAN GET THEM TO ADD ONE?? OR HOW WOULD WE GO ABOUT THIS?? GREAT POST REAL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAMES

I MIGHT HAVE READ THIS ALL WRONG...LET ME KNOW IF I DID...

try family and friends group and suggest starting another group , hope that helps

I don't think this is appropriate for the Crisis centre.

The crisis centre is for Bipolar people in danger of suicide, self harm, harm to others or just plain crisis. The posting fits none of the criteria.

It is more appropriate to Families & Friends of Bipolar Community.

My man opt to become LPN so that he would have knowledge to assist me while takeing care of his self. he does not work as LPN nor in medical field. i know by tell tell signal that am about to become temporary tisty. During such times I spend quite a bit time in my bd rm. ya sometimes I just cant keep my mouth shut. He is trained to understand and deal w such moods & phase w/in phases w/in the cycle.
I have in home care service which is benifitual to us both and allots him time to go fishing, to work, peace of mind and so that he can take care of his over all well being. This provides him normal healthy life.

If Ds doesn't have support group for care assistance and spouces - you could start one.

Am not even 25% sure why anyone would hitch thier wagon to physco patient thats inside or as an out patient of mental health facility - center.
I know if rolls were reversed w my mate, I would slap him into mental health center and/or boarding house and get on liveing my own life. I dont work in medical field nor w in home care service.It is Not my job to provide medical and/or care assistance to my mate or anyone.

My partner was diagnosed with bi polar 8 years ago after a depressive episode and before we met. Since then nothing until two months ago when I noticed her mood getting high, non stop talking, not sleeping, rapid weight loss and her behaviour becoming more and more aggresive, shouting at me all times of the day and night, making allegations to the police about family and friends but she can't see anything is wrong its just everyone else! I have tried asking our doctor for help but nothing, now my partner has withdrawn her consent for the doctor to talk to me and I have had to leave the house because I can't cope with the screaming, non stop talking and threats. I'm very afraid for her and what might happen if she does not get some help soon but how can you help someone who cannot see there is a problem? I love her very much but the cruelty of her words cuts deeply and no matter how many times I say to myself she is not well right now, she doesn't mean what she is saying, it hurts me deeply. I feel no one is willing to help until she either hurts herself or gets into trouble because of her behaviour, I have never felt so powerless.

This not what the crisis centre was meant for as I explained previously. There is Families & Friends of Bipolar group and a spouses of Bipolar members group.

I am closing this thread as it can obscure real requests for help from bipolar people. Thank you.
