This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
My boyfriend's been on a manic episode for over a month and refuses to take medication. He's all over the house tearing it up and making a huge mess everywhere he goes and it's been chaotic beyond my imagination. We have an almost 2 month old baby and I feel I can't take it anymore. His high has been decreasing thank God but is still extremely irritable and messy. I want him to get well but I feel I can't take anymore of this chaos and extreme mood swings. For my children's sake and mine I want to go away for a few days but I worry about him so much and I don't want to feel guilty. I care about him a lot.
Many people with bi polar refuse to take meds from time to time, but he needs to take them and go to therapy to maintain a stable lifestyle.
I think there is nothing wrong with taking a short break from him either. Every one needs some space some times.
