Its too soon for me to say. I've dealt with the symptoms of Bipolar for about a year and a half now. And I have only attempted to be in a relationship once. I did feel affectionate at times but I also felt very smothered, as if I were being kept in place and not free to move. Because of those feelings, i, unfortunately, have no desire for a relationship. The loneliness sucks. It's an odd thing to say but I wish I wanted a relationship. I wish I could love someone and deal with their faults the way I used to be able to. I just find it too difficult now. I am currently better off alone. Sorry I cannot offer you any help with that.

I can tell you that that when I am depressed, I isolate. I dont just stop returning phone calls and texts, I even unintentionally push people's buttons to make them not want to be around me.
