I had been dating a girl for a year when she had her first psychotic break and was diagnosed with bi polar 1. She went into treatment and several days after she got out We seperated. It was alot for me to handle and i thought that giving her time to focus on herself was the right thing to do. Her and I are both addicts in recover and I really took on what was happening to her, I co dependently wanted to fix her and I drove myself crazy. We are now broken up and I guess I have some guilt that I didn't stick by her. I felt like she was really looking to me for alot of help and I just didn't know what to do. I felt like I was beginning to force the relationship. If anyone can relate or has been through a similar situation and can give me some Feedback id appreciate it. Sometimes I feel alone or like no one understands me, the mental twist of being an addict. I have had my struggles in life and was put on every ADD/ADHD medicine you could list. I also have been on depressive/anxiety meds and was a self muitlator. I have recovered and currently not on any meds or active in unhealthy behavior. But when this happened I found myself looking for relief and my way of relief is not the healthiest solutions. Just wanted to get this off my chest any help would be appreciated.
