i was just finally diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolar1. after 5 years of struggling.
but now, i don't know what to tell my boyfriend.
we've been together for 14 months. we live together and have 2 pets together.
he says he loves me no matter what. but i feel selfish in the relationship. and i can't please him sexually at all. he's 22, and insatiable and i have no sex drive.
help

I find change triggers me as well. As for your psychologist and the DBT group. Can you change groups some how? Can you get up enough courage to talk to this person.
DBT is so important for people struggling with BP that I'd hate to see you not get anything out of it now, because of the change.
As for your boyfriend, you are lucky to find such a young man that is willing to be so supportive. Don't feel selfish, this is just all part of your symptoms, I would imagine
