What I would like to know is during the moods you experience where you find yourself distancing yourself from a significant other would you rather they continue to try to make contact with you or have space given to you? As much detail as possible will help

A little background:
My fairly new boyfriend (of about 5 months) has Bipolar which I recently learned. He also is not taking meds right now. In the past I have texted him everyday to maintain contact when he distances me (Him reciprocating ranges from a couple responses, convos that span over a couple hours or no response at all) and we dont hang out during this distancing phase but eventually he comes around and we go back to seeing each other/talking regularly. But I'm trying to decide if it would be better to keep trying to talk with him (even if some days he doesnt respond) or to give him a couple days of space and not trying to talk to him (I always start the convos). I've posted this on a Bipolar forum and a couple ppl said they'd still want someone to maintain constant contact and that it makes them feel wanted or not insecure despite the distance. But I feel like I've also read advice on giving space..however this often feels like its from the perspective of the person who does not have Bipolar and I'm not sure how helpful that might be, this is why I think hearing from someone who has Bipolar is very important
