Hello & Welcome, Littleshoe!

In another post you mention your boyfriend is bipolar and not taking medication. The folks in the Bipolar Forum may be best equipped to answer your questions. You may also find support in Partners of People & Caregivers.

Mood disorders can be devilishly hard on the sufferer and their loved ones. Though it is your natural inclination to attempt to help, you - and your boyfriend - are fighting against forces in the brain that are interfering with processing emotions. Bipolar Depression is not going be "reasonable," neither with you nor your boyfriend.

Turning here for help is good. Learn as much as you can. Make yourself at home.
