Hi, my boyfriend is bipolar, we've been together for 18 months and I've been put through a lot of heartache but have always stuck by him.
I haven't seen him for two weeks now cause he is going through some problems again and says he can't even get out of bed sometimes, he says he wants to care about me but right now he can't, which I find really hard to cope with.
He's not answering my texts now so I told him today that I give up, I'm tired of crying and making a fool of myself.
I wish I could take it back because I love him so much and I'm really scared that I'm never going to hear from him again, but when he's ill I find the rejection so hard to cope with.
I don't know if anyone can help, if you know someone with bipolar or are a sufferer in a relationship, I could do with some words of comfort.
I just don't want him to feel like I have walked out on him because of his illness, I've really tried so hard but he keeps putting me through so much and doesn't seem to realise that when he is low I am aswell.

If he is truly bi-polar I would try and help him get his medications situated and then make real sure he takes them,, if he is self-diagnosed,, then I would walk away!
Some people have been self-diagnosing that they are bi-polar and stop and really think about it! The whole world is to a point,,, we all have mood swings,, everyone does, some just choose to be mean and use the diagnosis as an excuse to get away with being mean!
My best to you!
- I guess, ask yourself if you would stay if he wasn't bipolar.
- Does he stay on his meds?
- Do you feel appreciated and respected?
Good luck
