So i should be really happy with it, and in some ways i am, but i don't know if this could ever go long term because we will never connect on certain levels. My therapist says that i have friends to talk about those things with, and that i don't need that from a partner. But i'm not so sure. I'm going to stick with this for a while and see what happens, because there is a lot about him that's really great. But i think maybe i need to date another person with bipolar. I think that chemistry could be amazing. But i don't know how i would meet another bipolar. At least someone who has some internal chaos... Or maybe i should listen to my therapist. I just don't understand neurotypicals.
One day at a time. No need to rush anything. Dating someone else who has BP? That could be difficult especially if you cycle differently. Something to think about.
