Thanks for bringing up the subject, I have thought about this a lot recently.

I've ruined several of the past romantic relationships because of my BP symptoms. I was not diagnosed back then. My husband has had depressive episodes, I'm always suspecting MI in him, though my pdoc thinks it's my fantasy. Anyway, I don't think our relationship is ideal. I don't think anyone normal could stand my outrages. We are there for each other forgiving terrible things just because we know any of us is ideal. He has been mean to me and vice versa.

What troubles me is my relationships with friends. I tend to please them, putting my own needs down. Keeping silent when I think differently. Having poor control of my borders. It gives a lot of stress at my life. At the other hand, my T kept telling me I need to build social net of help when I'm in need of help. Those persons are the only ones to help me out in desperate times. Though not emotionally, with everything else.
