Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I am new to the board and I am not sure if this is the correct section to post, so here it goes:
I have been in a relationship with a man for about three months who, in November/December of 2008 had a nervous breakdown and was admitted and kept for observation at a local hospital. He has opened up to me...little by little about what happened and the events that occured leading up to the breakdown but I have never seen the actual diagnosis information. He doesn't take meds and he doesn't see a counselor.
He goes from depressed mood states where he hardly talks to me ( when we aren't together) to when he is around me, he excessively obssesses and talks non-stop for hours over the latest thing he is stuck on, (mostly past issues, people or events). He says he only feels calm or happy when he is with me, but the only thing that I see that truly calms him is having sex with me which he is voracious about. He is a very sweet man, and he sometimes is very open about how he feels about me, while other times, so shut down and removed...even I can't get through. This seems to swing from one extreme to the next, but when we are together, he ALWAYS has to have sex, or get off....then he is calm...and seems better.
Please help me. I am not sure what to do. I truly care for him but I am scared too. I don't know if he has anxiety or depression or is manic....just not sure...
