My friend told me that, he has experience of putting people through BP like she is to me. My friend sad that, BP's live with a lot of regret and wish they could change things but can't... They also feel if someone leaves them then it's typical for BP's to just let them go even if it hurts bc they dont want them to get hurt and they know its their fault for what they are doing and as much as it hurts them that the person left, they live with it because they know it's best for the other person. Is it really like that???

WOW YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO! We "BP's" don't regret anything - anymore than a diabetic might regret having a hypoglucemic seizure - and why should we? We didn't do anything to cause our bipolar disorder condition. No one asks for this. So even suggesting that somehow the secondary harms caused by our symptoms is cause for our regret, or that we blame ourselves for being at "fault" turns my stomach. What you should really be asking is how we, who suffer this illness, are often devastated by the results. Sorry if I'm a bit angry over your post, but it's these sorts of myths you advance that cause us even further harm.
