I find this all or nothing pattern in alot of BP behavior. Everything is one extreme or the other. When things are good, they are very very good... When things are bad, they are horrid!
when my bf was unwell I gave up going to bed & would just sleep on the couch, I slept better just knowing that he was around, even if he was on the go with 50 million projects.
He's not too bad when he gets depressed, he sleeps well & we find things to keep busy & give him a reason to get out of bed.
It's hard to keep up when you don't have bp.
