My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year and most of the time things are amazing but there are days where he becomes someone I don't recognize.
He starts analyzing my past relationships from years ago and makes crazy accusations that I want to be with these people and he's just standing in the way. I now see these same thing happen everytime someone mentions the college that I attended. It's like the name itself triggers these thoughts which he has said, make him so upset he can't control himself.
We could be having an amazing day together and out of the blue someones name could get brought up by someone else and instantly he becomes silent and extremely cold and standoff -ish.
One minute he can be saying some extremely hurtfull things and a second later start crying and apologizing and telling me I deserve so much better.
His family has also noticed this has been happening much more frequently reciently and is trying to convince him to see a Doctor which he has refused multiple times stating that there is nothing wrong, even though we all know their is.
He has tried handling these issues himself and knows how badly his words can hurt me sometimes but continuly tells me he would do anything to be with me, he just can't control his thoughts that drive him to get upset.

Is this something that someone else can relate too? I have read books about bipolar disorder and almost everything listed in the books makes perfect sense. I just want to know if these actions are indeed bipolar disorder and not my boyfriend.
