I believe there is someone perfectly matched for you out there somewhere...

I agree. Bipolar does make things more intense. It's just learning to cope with it I guess. I'd like for it to more minimally effect my life...especially when it comes to these sorts of things.
Yeah, she is out there somewhere. I'm still young so there's plenty of time to find her. I'd just like to get a grip on things before I get another serious romantic interest. I tend to somewhat hide from them or do nothing because when my feelings grow, they grow too fast and get intense. I do not want that to keep happening.

My husband and I just celebrated our 4 year anniversary. He's been willing to stick through all of this with me mostly unmedicated.
I admit that sometimes in in the past it's been hard for me to tell the difference between my feelings and feelings that I am experiencing solely because of the Bipolar Disorder. |
Yeah, my mother once told me "If it is the one, it will be easy." In other words, it will not be fighting/arguing about how you want to be treated every week or more. It won't be trying to change someone to make them treat you better. They just will because they'll care about you and they won't need encouragement to treat you right. I cannot wait for that...as much as it scares me at the same time.
I totally relate to the last bit you said about feelings too. I have to check my thoughts quite frequently...especially when in a episode.
