Bipolar type 2 and Breakup ? :( Posted: 09-11-07 13:09pm
This spring I had a small breakdown and
was diagnosed with Bipolar type 2. I was
able to get help and get on the right meds
(took awhile) and finally feel like I'm on
the right track, however, during that time
I seriously neglected my relationship of
six years with my boyfriend. This summer
we started to fight and then 2 weeks ago I
found out he doesnt think I'm "the one"
anymore. We have decided to try and work
on things, because he says he just doesnt
feel that special connection anymore, and
he says he still respects me and thinks
I'm a great person and doesnt want to
throw the last six years out in the trash,
but he wants to be absoloutely sure. Do
relationships come back from this? Or am I
just hoping for nothing? Im still deeply
in love with him, and am starting to feel
great again about my life after a big
depression, I just dont want to drag on
the inevitable.
I try to tell him that its been really
hard, but I can also admit that I was
really selfish while I was depressed, and
he doesnt know if he'll get those feelings
back.

My Fiance wanted nothing to do with me
after I had the episode that led to my
diagnosis. I don't know what to say other
than give it time. Its going to hurt just
as much breaking up today as it willl
breaking up tommorow. You have 6 years so
you're not going to get any more attached.

I hope you and your boyfriend work things
out. I have been diagnosed wtih bipolar
disorder and the same morning my wife
asked for a divorce. We have been married
for 6 months. She says that she wants the
divorce now but has also mentioned that we
might work things out in the future.
I have an mixed-episode on our honeymoon 6
months ago and after many months of
strife, counselors, psychologist and
psychiatrists, I finally have an
explanation.
I wish I had known months ago, maybe my
wife would have been more accepting of it
then.
