I'm so sorry your relationship didn't work out I have found that even having healthy relationships with family and friends is hard sometimes with bipolar. I have these moods where I could just go off and the people closest to me usually get the brunt of it. I am lucky because the people in my life have been dealing with my wild moods for years and years, so they kinda know what to expect and how to help. But I truly believe you have to surround yourself with people who can understand what you are going through and who love you regardless if you have bipolar or anything else.

I think if you have an honest talk with the people in your life and explain what is going on, what you go through and how you feel, it will enlighten them a little. It will take work on both sides to make a relationship work- regardless the type. I believe communication is the key. If you can be open and honest about what you are feeling and your thoughts, then there isn't any miss- communication. Of course, all of this is easier said then done, but that's my two cents.

When all is said and done, relationships that aren't burdened with bipolar are really hard. But when you are with the right person, it will work. Don't give up hope!
