bipolar behavior ?
Posted: 01-11-08 14:41pm

this guy i was in love with has bipolar disorder.
well after all this time we've spent apart yet supposedly "loving" eachother...he just broke my heart.

he came to visit me for 6 days but forgot to bring his bipolar meds. so thats six days without them.

i know the disorder cant ever explain why we has no heart...but could it have played a part in how he feels and treats people he cares about?

we were supposed to get through all this...grow old together, etc.
i accepted him for who he was. and overlooked all his faults...including the disorder.

he recently layed it all on me. that his ex still has his heart, and that he doesnt even care anymore, theyre gonna be together, blah blah blah

he told me its stupid what we've been doing... trying to make something work through distance.

he broke my heart and im looking for answers. can bipolar disorder illicit this type of behavior?

If he doesn't love you, then you will have to accept it. If the guys is on bipolar meds and he hasn't been taking them, his behavior is more likely to be unusual b/c he is experiencing a chemical imbalance in his body. Therefore, he would be less likely to censor his words.

Is your Ex dating/involved with his Ex?

well according to the cold-hearted message he left me a few days ago, it sounded likee theyre together again. or planning on it.

i sort of understand it now though. i always knew he didnt completely know what he wanted. if that girl hes supposedly "meant to be with" (the same one he told me was a crazy b*tch) were in my situation, hed be telling the same things to her.

i hate men.

Sounds like it's time to grieve & move past this relationship. Hopefully, you can grow & learn something from this situation. Not all relationships are bad & not all relationships w/ bipolar ppl are bad. My husband & I have been together for over 6 yrs & going strong. The road can be bumpy, but all marriages have bumpy roads. I have no doubt that you will learn to love again once you have gotten over this guy.

Good luck, young one.

yes. i've acted out like that towards my husband while in a mixed episode, and totally broke his heart. i was extremely embarrassed and guilty when i started to feel more stable. it took years for our marriage to heal from that. i even remember the date that it happened. i feel horrible for acting out like that... like i didn't love, didn't care, and had no heart. i actually have a very big heart. i'm a very caring person and i love my husband very much. i think your boyfriend really needed his meds. you may not know his true intentions until he starts to stable back out again.

good luck. sorry you got your heart broken. i hope you guys can work through this.
