Love is a powerful force so they say. but sometimes love is just not enough. I suggest for you two is to attend group support meetings together so you can learn about each other by interacting with other couples who have similar problems. We should have do more of that, good luck to you.

My girl has bipolar and it keeps her afraid of things sometimes to the point where she makes excuses or blames others for things that aren't really so important now, and now she's hiding from me. I think I have found her but I am afraid to write her at the address because I feel like it might make her paranoid. Since she won't respond to letters I sent through her sister, I assume it really might be over. but isn't it true of BP that she might stay away for awhile even a year without any contact but then try to re-establish later?
