My psychologist told me not to give up on him so quickly and as a person with bipolar/schizoeffecive discorder, I understand how it feels to be misunderstood at times and sometimes quickly written-off, labeled, judged and stigmatized. I was diagnosed with bipolar a few years ago and had a hard, HARD, time coping at first but in the past year, I've learned what works for me in terms of identifying triggers and staying healthy. He's been very distant lately since we got in our first fight. I'm giving him his distance because that is what he wants right now (and I'm sure he needs). He gets social anxiety quite often and avoids social gatherings/interactions. Since I know he is unwilling to learn anything about bipolar (I doubt I could ever get him to watch a documentary about it ("Of Two Minds") so I've purchased a book titled: "22 Things a Woman Must Know: If She Loves a Man With Asperger's Syndrome"...I hope it gives me some more insight into understanding this mysterious creature that is my boyfriend
