I agree with the above. I drove off a couple ladies early on in my years with the clingyness and neediness, but I think that had to do with self-esteem issues, not necessarily my bp2. But those breakups all had to do with my drinking too (**** almost every time I was the one getting broken up with). Looking back (and according to T) the drinking had quite a bit to do with the untreated anxiety and bp2. So who the hell knows?
