the Worst Episode I Have Ever Seen Posted: 12-07-07 21:28pm
Last night was the end all be all of
bipolar behavior I have ever seen. We came
home from a night out, had a great time.
Neighbors were kind of gathered at our
driveway admiring their lights, by bf blew
right by them. It was obnoxious and
rude-we are new in the neighborhood and I
was so embarrassed. When I confronted him
he spun into a tantrum refusing to talk
saying "leaving me alone" stomping around
avoiding me. It was CRAZY. I lost it,
after all the crap I have put up with, I
finally lost in a big way..I wanted him
gone, out of my life and could no longer
deal with the crap. We have normal
relationship issues, and I can deal-I am
not perfect nor is he, but this childish
behavior has gone too far..I dont know
anyone who puts up with this...In the end
he cried, I cried, we fought, battled,
made love...And today has been perfect-but
am I strong enough to do this again? I
cant say..I feel I am falling apart....
How do I cope? Why does he does this-he is
back on meds, I feel at times this is
LEARNED behavior not the disease.....I
love him but, I am going nuts here.....

Have you talked w/ your bf about the
outburst? Have you asked him about his
medication? I know that sometimes a
bipolar person will have tantrums b/c
their medicine isn't working or therapy
isn't successful. Please ask about his
mental health. This isn't something that
he can handle alone when he's in a
relationship. He needs to explain how he
felt last night & advise you if he's
not taking his meds or if he feels he
needs a change in meds or therapy.
Not only has my husband begun to see his
3rd new therapist since we've known each
other (6 yrs), he's had his meds changed
several times. This is a situation you may
want to discuss with his
therapist...perhaps by making a joint
appointment. I've been to therapy w/ my
husband & his therapists in the past.
It's always good to keep the lines of
communication open. My husband has woken
me up in the past when he's felt scared in
the middle of the night. I'd rather he
talk w/ me than act out in a negative way.
I hope that helps. Believe me, bipolar
honestly can be managed, but it's not
easy. You can do it if
you hang in there...otherwise, leaving may
be the only option.
