My partner does not understand bipolar. She has never experienced it or known anyone who has experienced it. She wants "the old Lauru back" and when I fake it for her and try to be happy and perky, then she says and insinuates that I don't have to fake being sick to get off of work, that I can leave work if I want to. Well D**N, I fake it for her and then she accuses me of faking bipolar depression. She says she is stressed right now and can't cope with me being sick. My pdoc and therapist say she should be there for me when I am sick and not judge me. I don't know what to think or do anymore. I love her and I truly believe I would breakdown if I didn't have her. Nevermind that I wouldn't have a place to stay or live. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys
