Hi there everyone,

I guess I just want to vent a bit, as I am very emotional right now and I am letting everything out. Being bipolar is tough and I have my disability under review, I am trying to look for a part-time job and my sleeping patterns have just been awful. My therapy appointment has been pushed back because of the snowstorm just when I needed it most. It's been 5 weeks since I have seen my therapist and I am going to break any moment.

I got myself out of a verbally abusive relationship, and when we parted ways I thought that would be that. But he kept calling and calling, stalking me on my blog and just refused to go away. His last message was "You will be the last woman I will ever love, see you on the other side of this life." Very cryptic. He also said he was just released from the psych ward right after our break-up.

Has anyone ever been in this situation? I mean he is basically saying he is going to harm himself and I want nothing to do with any of it. I have to look out for myself because I am a very emotional person, and if I don't take care of me, I am going to fall apart. But I feel this is so unfair to put me in this position. I am hurting so deep inside, and I have overwhelming feelings of guilt. I had to change my number because I didn't want to be dragged down with him anymore.

I am just in so much pain with guilt. I know his actions are his own, but I feel like I am being dragged through the gutter. Any advice on how to alleviate some of this guilt would be helpful.

Thanks for listening.
