My boyfriend was diagnosed as bipolar about a year ago. There is a lot more to it, but I have a question. He loves watching movies, in fact, he watches the same ones over and over again. He almost tries to make me sit and watch them with him. Even when they aren't, he will say, "it's a true story"...

so, here's the question....does he just like to live in the fictional world of movies to escape reality (because he won't even talk about the real issues that need to be dealt with), or does he really not have a grasp on what is real and what isn't? Just a question...any input would be appreciated!
