Plus, I end up feeling used or unworthy, but somehow I still hold on and make excuses for the person's lack of effort or inability to be emotionally available to me. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells. I wish I could break this cycle!

I'm curious to know... what are some of the criticisms partners have made of you? Has anyone suggested that you are the one who is emotionally unavailable, not making an effort, etc? I'm asking because these are things I hear from people who have had relationships with someone who has Bipolar... so it's interesting to see someone who is diagnosed with Bipolar make those same complaints about their partner.
When you "wake up", but still feel "attached", what do you think that attachment is exactly? What is your idea of being attached to someone? What's the longest close relationship you've had with someone (including friends)?
I'm sorry for all the questions (don't feel obliged to answer), just curious.
