Well, I guess my title sums it up eloquently. I just recently began a relationship (two months now) with a man who is dx with BP. He was very honest about his dx, and his hospitalization (2 years ago) on our second date. He is very loving, caring and affectionate, but he is starting down a slippery slope to depression. He just lost his job of four months, after being 2 years unemployed. He doesn't want to leave his apartment for longer than a few hours, and hasn't showered for a few days. I'm trying to be encouraging and supportive, but I'm not sure what I can do to get him to motivate. I'm afraid we are starting down the slippery slope to depression, and I don't know how to help him in that sense...
Any advice or help is appreciated
